Launched Program for the Handicapped
Last, December 8, 2006, the City of Mandaluyong launched their handicapped program.
The said program aspires to promote the easy and safer access of disabled persons on public transportations, particularly the tricycle.
Legible and responsible tricycle drivers where given a sticker that allows them to indulge with privileges while they are ferrying handicapped persons. They cannot be charged with any violations from traffic rules or by a traffic officer. They can even go beyond their designated route.
The sticker should be put in a spot wherein it can be easily spotted. Its privileges should not be violated by the driver.
Also, the “Mandaluyong City Disabled Persons Affairs Division” and the “Tricycles Foundation” issued a signed memorandum in support and to stop the discrimination public utility drivers to disabled persons but rather it should stay as a reminder that they need to be understood of their special needs. In addition, posters and stickers are being put up.
