The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will launch the iTow application on Friday in a bid to stop anomalous practices of tow truck operators.
MMDA Chairman Emerson Carlos said Thursday the iTow application, through the pure force citizens app, will be available for all Smartphones, both in Android and IOS platforms, to provide an online venue dedicated to towing operations.
Traffic enforcers, as well as accredited private towing companies, will be provided with tablets with the app which is linked to MMDA’s metro base.
Photos of vehicles to be towed must be taken using the tablet, and then sent to metro base for verification.
If the vehicle must be towed, a reference number will be sent to the tow truck operators / traffic enforcers by the dispatcher from metro base.
The public can download the app for free.
