No Contact Apprehension Policy

The No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) refers to different active traffic management and road traffic safety measures being implemented by local government units all over the Philippines.

Through the NCAP, traffic management agencies are able to enforce traffic laws by identifying violators through the use of traffic enforcement cameras and closed-circuit television. In doing so, it is also able to apprehend violators without the presence of an on-site traffic enforcer.[1]

On August 30, 2022, the Supreme Court of the Philippines issued a temporary restraining order suspending the No Contact Apprehension Policy of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the cities of Manila, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, and Muntinlupa. The order also temporarily bars the Land Transportation Office (LTO) from providing motorist information to other local government units implementing a No Contact Apprehension Policy.[2][1]
