The LTFRB is responsible for promulgating, administering, enforcing, and monitoring compliance of policies, laws, and regulations of public land transportation services.

In September 1972, then President Ferdinand Marcos implemented the Integrated Reorganization Plan through Presidential Decree No.

From its inception, the Land Transportation Commission held the duty of classifying, registering, and regulating all forms of land-based vehicles.

The Office of the Chairman and its board members has the capability perform the powers and functions as mandated in Executive Order 202 and Public Service Act.

They provide advisement services relative to the economical, efficient, and effective administration of personnel and other resources of the LTFRB.

In 2003, LTFRB granted fare discounts to senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWD) and students.

[12] The word colorum was first used in an official capacity in 1973 to refer to unauthorized public utility vehicles, when then-president Ferdinand Marcos issued Presidential Decree No.

Headed by the Transportation Undersecretary and the LTFRB chairman, the campaign aims to conduct anti-colorum operations more effectively by increasing the presence of intelligence in communities.

[20] The public may engage in the efforts by reporting colorum vehicles on the Inter-Agency Council for Traffic Facebook page.

[21] The seminar is composed of four core modules namely anger management, road courtesy, traffic rules, and terms and conditions of a franchise.

The basic policy states that the DOTr shall lessen the reliance on the use of private vehicles and transition toward the promotion of mobility solutions and high-quality transportation systems that are environmentally sound.

The department is tasked to disseminate, administer, and oversee the compliance of public land transportation policies, laws, and regulations which promote the basic human need for mobility.

LTFRB is assigned to implement this Department Order, to support and reinforce the operators and establish a bigger and coordinate fleet of PUVs.

The LTFRB has also the power to incentivize or prioritize the operators with larger fleets of PUVs with higher passenger capacity.

A pilot implementation will be conducted by the DOTr, LTFRB, LTO, OTC, and other concerned agencies to review and assess the efficacy and effects of the program's intended outcomes.

The program is considered to be revolutionary in terms of road-based public land transportation and that it will steer the country to have an improved riding experience that will be benefited by generations of Filipino passengers.

This was passed by House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, Cesar V. Sarmiento, Juan Pablo P. Bondoc, Bayani F. Fernando, Anna Katrina M. Enverga, Renato Unico, Winston Castelo, Emi Calixto Rubiano, and Alfred D. Vargas.
