The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has reinstated its No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP), effective May 26. Under the NCAP, traffic violators on monitored roads are identified through CCTV cameras, and violation notices are sent via postal mail.
Currently, there is no online platform for checking NCAP violations, as previous verification methods are no longer available. However, MMDA Chairman Atty. Don Artes mentioned in a press conference that the agency is working to launch an app where motorists can verify NCAP violations.
Under the current system, Notices of Violation (NOVs) are delivered via postal mail, typically reaching recipients within five to seven days. With the app, motorists will be able to check for violations in real-time and, if necessary, settle fines online.
Atty. Artes also said that the MMDA is collaborating with telecommunications companies to implement SMS notifications, ensuring motorists receive timely alerts about their violations.
At present, NCAP fines can be paid through the official payment portal, Landbank Link.BizPortal, or in person at the MMDA Head Office, located at Julia Vargas Avenue corner Molave Street, Barangay Ugong, Pasig City. Atty. Artes added that payment options will soon expand to include GCash, Maya, and other digital payment platforms.
Failure to settle fines will result in the vehicle’s license plate number being flagged in the Land Transportation Office (LTO) alarm list, which may cause issues for future registrations and transactions.
Motorists with violations can also file an appeal through the MMDA’s Traffic Adjudication Division (TAD). Read here for details.
