The Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Cabanatuan City in the province of Nueva Ecija is made up of a single LTO office: the LTO Gapan District Office (DO). This LTO office serves the city by making sure that the agency’s operations are more accessible and more convenient for the people residing in the local area of the City of Gapan and its geographical area of responsibility (GAOR). The LTO Gapan District Office was also meant to make the LTO more effective by bringing their operations closer to the public they want to serve without the hassle of having the transacting public go elsewhere or spend more time and money to avail of LTO-related services.
As the local implementing body of the LTO in the Gapan City area, the LTO Gapan DO also observes the same standards in public service especially in implementing their regulatory policies and programs for the benefit of the local motorists, drivers, and car owners. This applies for all types of services that the agency is offering, regardless of the LTO Cabanatuan Office you visit. This is, in part, also an initiative intended to help them keep up with the mandate to maintain road safety.
What is LTO Gapan City?
LTO Gapan City can refer to either one or both of the LTO offices stationed in Cabanatuan City: the LTO Gapan District Office (DO). Just like all the other LTO offices in the country and in Central Luzon, the LTO Gapan District office was created to manifest the agency’s efforts in bridging the LTO programs and the people they serve—including the drivers and car owners in Gapan City and the neighboring areas. This LTO office was created to carry out the agency’s mandate and make the LTO core programs and services—including the registration and renewal of motor vehicles (MV) and license and permits—more convenient and affordable to avail of, especially for the people who work behind the wheels or those who can’t afford to travel to another place for their LTO-related needs.
The LTO Gapan District Office (DO) serves as the primary operating arm of the agency in the city of Gapan. That said, it is tasked to offer the agency’s core programs and services, and engage with the locals so it will be easier for the Secretariat to carry out its mandate. It is generally the visual representation of the LTO’s presence in Gapan City and is located in San Roque, Gapan City, Nueva Ecija.
