Prior to this, the DOST-NCR also allocated PhP 2.3 M from its Regional Grants-In-Aid Fund to develop, deploy, and operationalize the ULP system in partnership with the DevConnect Philippines, Inc.
ARTA Director General Secretary Jeremiah Belgica, LTFRB Chairman Atty. Martin Delgra III, and Department of Transportation Former Asec. Alberto Suansing attended the Turnover Ceremony.
