 SECTION 7
TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT IN
URBAN AND REGIONAL AREAS
The focus is moving more people than vehicles.
Public mass transportation in urban areas shall be
given priority over private transport. High capacity
public transport systems shall be the preferred
mode in high passenger density corridors.

But, we know that private cars are given preference

over public transportation even in high density
traffic corridors. For example, private cars are
allotted more traffic lanes than buses. A car or a
van with one or two persons inside can go
practically anywhere while a jeepney with a dozen
passengers is barred from entering many main
highways based on the idea that they cause more
traffic congestion.
 SECTION 24
Defining a Hierarchy of Public
Transportation in Urban Areas

Public mass transportation in urban

areas shall be given priority over
private transportation in the use of
road space to ensure accessibility,
convenience, reliability, safety,
security and fare competitiveness. In
almost every traffic scheme, private
cars have been given priority over
buses and jeepneys.
 SECTION 23
Integration of Land Use and Transport
Planning which states
All government agencies and LGUs involved
in the movement of people and goods and
in the provision of transportation
infrastructure, facilities and services shall
adopt an integrated approach to land use
and urban transport planning in order to
have more effective management of
growth in urban areas.

LGUs will not voluntarily give up their

authority over land use. But unless there is
a national land use authority, there will
never be an "integrated land use and
transport plan".
EXAMPLES
1. Public Utility Vehicle
Modernization Program
(PUVMP)

The PUVMP was launched to

replace old and unsafe jeepneys
and other public utility vehicles
with modern, environmentally
friendly, and safer alternatives.
The program aimed to improve the
quality of public transportation
and promote the welfare of
drivers and passengers.
 2. Build, Build, Build
Program

This is an infrastructure
development program that covers
various sectors, including
transportation. The government
intended to build and upgrade
roads, bridges, airports, seaports,
and railway systems to enhance
connectivity and transportation
efficiency across the country.
3. Green Transport Initiatives

The government has been

encouraging the adoption of
eco-friendly transportation
options, such as electric vehicles
(EVs) and hybrid vehicles, to
reduce carbon emissions and
combat air pollution.
4. Road Safety and Traffic
Management
Several policies focus on
improving road safety and
managing traffic congestion.
Initiatives include stricter
enforcement of traffic rules,
implementing traffic
management systems, and
promoting pedestrian safety.
5. Public-Private Partnerships
(PPP) for Infrastructure
The government has been
engaging in partnerships with
the private sector to finance and
develop transportation
infrastructure projects, such as
toll roads and airports, to
accelerate the expansion and
enhancement of transportation
facilities.
6. Bike Lanes and Pedestrian-
Friendly Infrastructure
In urban centers, efforts have
been made to create
dedicated bike lanes and
pedestrian-friendly spaces to
encourage alternative modes
of transportation and reduce
dependency on cars.
7. Integrated Transport System

The government has been

working on improving
integration among various
transportation modes,
including buses, trains, and
ferries, to facilitate
smoother intermodal
transfers for commuters.
8. Urban Planning and
Development
Policies related to urban
planning and development
seek to address
transportation issues by
designing cities in ways that
reduce congestion, enhance
walkability, and promote
the use of public
transportation.
9. Traffic Management in Metro
Manila
Specific policies have been
implemented to address
traffic congestion in the
densely populated Metro
Manila area, including odd-
even schemes and number
coding systems for private
vehicles.
10. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
is a high-quality bus-based transit
system that delivers fast,
comfortable, and cost-effective
services at metro-level capacities.
It does this through the provision
of dedicated lanes, with busways
and iconic stations typically
aligned to the center of the road,
off-board fare collection, and fast
and frequent operations.
