The City Traffic Management – Sidewalk Clearing Operations Office (CTM-SCOO) is the local government office responsible for managing traffic flow, promoting road safety, enforcing transportation regulations, and keeping public roads and sidewalks clear in the San Jose del Monte, Bulacan area.

It is one of the key offices of the local government and is responsible for keeping the city’s roads safe, organized, and accessible. Much like Metro Manila’s MMDA, its work directly affects motorists, commuters, pedestrians, and transport operators, so it is imperative that the department is effective in its efforts to help reduce congestion, improve road discipline, and maintain safer public spaces.
