The Road Transport Department (RTD) will set up self-service kiosks at various locations next year to enable the public to check and pay their traffic summonses without having to come to the RTD counters.

RTD deputy director-general Ismail Ahmad said for a start, 51 locations across the country had been identified for the purpose.

“We hope with the kiosks in place, transactions such as to check and pay traffic summonses, as well as to renew road tax, will be made easy,” he told reporters after closing the state-level Innovation Month celebration in Kuala Terengganu today.

Ismail said most of the kiosks would be placed at public areas, including shopping malls.

Meanwhile, he said the RTD had also set up multi-function counters at state RTD offices to speed up the transaction process and improve the public delivery system for its clients.

Prior to this, he said the public had to go to separate counters for matters concerning driving licence, road tax and transfer of vehicle ownership.
