The program aims to help active transport users locate their bikes in case of loss of theft. Assistance in the event of an accident will also be provided, said Brig. Gen. Elmo San Diego, the DPOS head.

“The importance of this bike registration program is to help our bikers in case their bicycles cannot be located or are stolen. We can aid them and they can avail of the assistance of the police in investigating missing bikes because the owners can readily present a certificate of ownership issued by DPOS,” San Diego said.
