Lagos Launches Toll-Free Hotline for Traffic Reporting

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has introduced a new toll-free hotline, 3367, to facilitate the reporting of traffic-related emergencies by residents. This initiative, unveiled by LASTMA's Director of Public Affairs, Adebayo Taofiq, aims to enhance emergency response across the state and promote greater public participation in road transport administration.

The hotline replaces the agency's former long service code and is designed to be user-friendly and technology-driven. Motorists can report vehicular breakdowns, road crashes, and other incidents requiring immediate attention.

LASTMA's General Manager, Olalekan Bakar Oki, described the launch as a significant step towards improving road safety and traffic flow. The hotline operates in English, Yoruba, and Pidgin English to ensure effective communication.

Oki emphasized that every report received will be treated professionally and confidentially, with appropriate operational units responding promptly. This initiative reflects LASTMA's commitment to deploying innovative digital solutions to address transport challenges in Lagos State.
