Cauayan, Isabela—Cauayan City Mayor Bernard Faustino Dy, on the 11th commemoration of the birth anniversary of the late Mayor Benjamin G. Dy, formally launched the No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP), a traffic camera management system that has the capability to accurately apprehend erring motorists who traverse the roads and major thoroughfares of Cauayan City.
“Inaasahan po natin ang awareness ng ating taong bayan to be responsible drivers and responsible citizens. Ang isang motorista na nasa kalsada ay hindi niya nilalagay sa alanganin ang sarili niyang buhay kundi ’yung mga mamamayan rin, NCAP is for the safety of not only our motorists, but for the general public as well,” Dy announced.
The roads of Cauayan City, along with other areas of Isabela and nearby provinces are regularly traversed by trucks and other large vehicles that transport goods throughout the region that are notorious for overspeeding. These vehicles are known to travel mostly at night to avoid traffic and apprehension. Mayor Dy is confident that with the installation of NCAP cameras, motorists will follow all traffic rules and regulations 24 hours a day.
Cauayan City is the first city outside Metro Manila that has implemented NCAP as Mayor Dy believes that the launching of NCAP is vital to the City’s move to become a Smart City in the North.
The NCAP program utilizes cameras with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology that can accurately capture the conduction sticker and plate number of erring motorists. When the system detects a violation, a Notice of Violation will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle upon review and approval of the LGU which also shows the place and time a violation was committed along with the corresponding fine to be paid.
