BRIEF HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RAILWAYS (DOTr)

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is the primary policy, planning, programming,

coordinating, implementing and administrative entity of the executive branch of the
government on the promotion, development and regulation of a dependable and
coordinated network of transportation systems, as well as in the fast, safe, efficient and
reliable transportation services.

As one of the first government agencies established under the Malolos Constitution on
January 21, 1899, with 121 years annual budget of P 99.39 billion, the DOTr plays a
crucial role in accelerating the country's economic development. It provides the
backbone for growth and enhances the country's competitive edge by providing effective
and efficient transportation infrastructure systems that narrow the geographical and
physical divide, connecting the country, its islands, and its people to the rest of the world.

In line with the government’s initiatives to congest truck traffic on roads in Metro Manila,
the development of a barge and RORO terminal in Tanza, Cavite will allow
transshipment of cargo from Manila port to Cavite via barges and Roll-on-Roll-off
operations. Phase 1 of the project is designed to support 115,000 TEUs per year,
translating to about 140,000 fewer truck trips travelling city roads annually.

Province of Palawan. It is located on the eastern coast of Palawan, in the City of Puerto
Princesa (Barangay San Jose, 3rd district of Palawan district, Region IV-B). In the last
decade, the airport has reached its maximum capacity, requiring a major upgrade of the
facility to cater for sustained international and domestic passenger growth. Thus, the
DOTC, with the financial and technical support of Korean Export-Import Bank (K-Exim
Bank) commenced with the Puerto Princesa Airport Development Program (PPADP).

Masinag station which will be located before the Masinag Junction in Antipolo City. This
project was originally proposed in 2011, but scoping studies were not followed with
infrastructure. The project was revived under Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's
"Build, Build, Build" infrastructure initiative, and is now under construction. It is expected
to accommodate 80,000 passengers daily during its first five years of operation, adding
to the line's daily ridership of 240,000.
The funding for the deal's viaduct and stations is from the Philippines National
Government, and electro-mechanical and consultancy services are funded by the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

bus terminals and stations, segregated bus ways, segregation barriers, and sidewalks,
road reconstruction, intersection improvement, landscape strips, warning and directional
signage, advanced direction signs, carriageway markings, and associated traffic
management infrastructure (such as pedestrian walkways), construction of bus depots,
including pedestrian crossing facilities. (2) System management component finances (i)
traffic engineering and management measures along the project corridor including,
among others, intersection optimization, parking management, u-turn slots and improved
signals; (ii) development of an intelligent bus operational support and management
system; (iii) development of IT and marketing functions of the BRT system management;

designed, uncomfortable, and unsafe. The project will build or improve a total of 5
kilometers of covered elevated walkways around the four stations. Elevators will be
attached to the elevated walkways to address the needs of the elderly, women, persons
with disabilities, and people traveling with small children. The elevated walkways will be
connected to mass transit stations to help promote the use of public transport. The
Department of Transportation promotes walking as zero emission transport and
develops flagship walkway projects as Greenways projects.
