BAGUIO CITY - The city government
is mulling the creation of a task force to address inconsistencies on smoke emission
machine readings of both the accredited Private Emission Testing Centers (PETS)
and the city’s Roadside Inspection Testing and Monitoring Team (RITMT), after
this created confusion and complaints from motorists.
The task force would help assess the city’s
clean air act ordinance including the RITMT.
The composition of the task force would come
from concerned agencies said councilor Peter Fianza during of city officials.
Mayor Mauricio Domogan said there was no
problem with the city’s RITMT system since the vehicle emission testing
standards being used were in accordance with the Clean Air Act Ordinance and
that the machines were in good condition.
He said there was need to check testing of
the PETS and the RITMT.
Domogan said testing machines should be
regularly monitored by the Department of Transportation and Communication
Cordillera, Department of Environment and Natural Resources- Environmental
Management Bureau and Department of Trade and Industry.
