The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) conducted its monthly inspection of rescue and evacuation equipment for March 2026 as part of its continuing efforts to ensure passenger safety, operational readiness, and service reliability.

The activity was spearheaded by Mr. Jimmy L. Chua, Manager of the Safety and Security Division (SSD), which covered the assessment and testing of emergency and rescue equipment deployed across LRT Line 2. This activity is in accordance with the agency’s Public Service Continuity Plan (PSCP), reinforcing LRTA’s proactive approach to safety and preparedness.

The inspection covered critical evacuation and rescue tools, including emergency evacuation devices, rescue equipment, and other related safety apparatus. Each item was carefully checked to ensure its serviceability, completeness, and proper working condition.

Under the PSCP, periodic functional exercises are required to evaluate the condition, reliability, and responsiveness of essential emergency equipment.

The monthly inspection underscores LRTA’s commitment to risk mitigation, uninterrupted public service, and the protection of passengers, personnel, and assets.
