The Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Lucena City in the province of Quezon is made up of a set of three (3) LTO offices: the LTO Lucena District Office (DO), the LTO Driver’s License Renewal Office (DLRO) SM Lucena City and the LTO Quezon Licensing Center (LC). These offices were meant to serve the city like every LTO offices do: To extend the agency’s operations and make their services more accessible and more convenient for the people residing in the local area of the City of Lucena and its geographical area of responsibility (GAOR). These LTO branches are meant to bring the LTO services closer and offer them more effectively without the hassle.
Though it is now known as a highly urbanized city that houses numerous micro-businesses and SMEs, Lucena City has always been a coastal city, with its core industry dependent on fishing and marine-related works as well as on merchandising and service. It is also the seat of power in the province of Quezon and the Southern Tagalog region, causing many government agencies to seek to be hosted in the city, and LTO is no exception.
