The Land Transportation Office (LTO) Region 2 (Cagayan Valley Region) is one of the thirteen (13) regional divisions of the agency. Just like how LTO functions at the headquarters, the agencies in Region 2 was created to oversee and manage the LTO project and policy implementation in the region. These offices are created so the agency can keep a close eye to the drivers and car owners and operators in an effort to maintain safe, efficient, convenient, and economical land transport service for the residents of the Cagayan Valley region.
