DOTr main office to be transferred to Clark by July 28

QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News) — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) will transfer its main office to Clark, Pampanga.

The transportation department said that the decision to transfer its main office to Pampanga is in line with its goals to improve the system of transportation as well as to assist in the development of areas outside Metro Manila.

“The decision to transfer is in line with the unwavering efforts of the government to decongest Metro Manila, reduce travel time, improve travel of motorists and help boost development in its peripheries,” the department said in a statement Monday.

The transfer will be done by batches, with the Office of the Secretary, Undersecretaries and Communications office to be transferred on July 28.

The department said it expects to complete the transfer by the end of this year.
