RTD offering 70 pct discount for summonses beginning tomorrow

PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department (RTD) is offering a 70 per cent discount on traffic summonses for two months, including cases that are still blacklisted, beginning tomorrow.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the discount, which is being offered in conjunction with the 75th RTD anniversary, involved 3.5 million active summonses identified from 2010 to March this year.

The payment of summonses with discount can be made at all RTD offices and online through the department's official portal.

"I encourage the public to pay their summonses online to avoid congestion at RTD offices," he told reporters after RTD's 75th Platinum Jubilee celebration here today.

Wee said RTD also introduced JPJeQ, an online waiting queue system today to avoid the 3Cs (Crowded, Confined and Close) at all RTD premises and counters.

"The mobile application will allow customers to choose the RTD branches which are less crowded and use QR codes to get the waiting number, and it is a friendly app to people with disabilities (OKU) and senior citizens," Wee said.

In conjunction with the anniversary, RTD also launched a special "FD" vehicle registration plate for the Federal Territory of Putrajaya, for which bids can be placed via the online vehicle registration number bidding system (JPJeBid), beginning today.

Wee said the registration number bidding will be closed at 10pm on Friday and the results would be announced the next day. – Bernama
