PLANNING
URBAN TRANSPORTATION
Urban transportation refers to the ways people get
around in cities and towns. It includes things like
buses, trains, subways, bikes, and cars that help people
travel from one place to another within an urban area
URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
involves the evaluation and selection of
highway or transit facilities to serve present and
future land uses. Must also consider other
proposed developments and improvements
that will occur within the planning period.
The rapid urbanization in the East Asia and
Pacific region requires addressing urban
transport challenges to sustain economic
and social advantage of the region's cities.
Though current programs mainly address
urban challenges in the capital cities, there
is a growing need to address these issues in
other large as well as medium size cities,
especially, as most of these cities often do
not have well-developed urban transport
plans or transport services.
The Philippines has one of the
highest urbanization rates in the
region. Based on statistics data,
48.29% of the country's total
population lives in urban areas in
2023. Transportation problems vary
from country to country depending
on their social, economic, and
political situation.

URBAN TRANSPORT CHALLENGES
1) Rapid Urbanization
The Philippines is one of the most rapidly growing and
urbanizing countries in Asia. The rapid increase in population
puts pressure on existing urban transport infrastructure and
services especially in urban areas. In 1980, the total population
of the country was 48.098 million. Twenty years later, in 2000,
the total population of the Philippines became 76.5 million.
URBAN TRANSPORT CHALLENGES
2) Urban Density
Urban density is a term used in urban planning and urban
design to refer to the number of people inhabiting a given
urbanized area. As such, it is to be distinguished from other
measures of population density. The urban densities of highly
urbanized cities in the Philippines vary greatly in magnitude.
URBAN TRANSPORT CHALLENGES
CAUSES OF URBANIZATION
Industrialization
Commercialization
Social benefits and services
Employment opportunities
Rural urban transformation
CAUSES OF URBANIZATION
Industrialization
Industrialization is the process of
transforming the economy of a nation
or region from a focus on agriculture to
a
reliance
on
manufacturing.
Mechanized
methods
of
mass
production are an essential component
of this transition.
CAUSES OF URBANIZATION
Commercialization
Commercialization is the process of
bringing new products or services to
market.
The
broader
act
of
commercialization entails production,
distribution, marketing, sales, customer
support, and other key functions critical
to achieving the commercial success of
the new product or service.
CAUSES OF URBANIZATION
Social benefits and services
is often substituted with other terms
such as social welfare, social protection,
social assistance, social care and social
work, with many of the terms
overlapping in characteristics and
features.
CAUSES OF URBANIZATION
Employment opportunities
Employee opportunity refers to the
various
chances
and
possibilities
available to employees within their
work
environment.
It
includes
opportunities
for
promotion,
development,
challenge,
and
recognition.
CAUSES OF URBANIZATION
Rural urban transformation
The transformation of rural areas
stimulated by interactions with urban
centers can deliver positive impacts in
terms of sustainability, as well as in terms
of access to services and higher incomes.

URBAN TRANSPORTATION
PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES
SOME MAJOR ONGOING PROJECTS IN THE
PHILIPPINES AS OF 2024.
LRT-1 Cavite
Extension
Project
With the Cavite Extension project, the total number of LRT-1
stations will increase from 20 to 28, covering several major
cities including Quezon City, Caloocan, Manila, Pasay, and
Paranaque, all the way to Bacoor, Cavite. It will add 11 kms to
the existing railway system and is expected to service up to
800,000 passengers per day. It is also expected to increase
and enhance commercial development around the rail
stations.
Metro Manila
Subway
Metro Manila Subway is a 33.1km-long subway
being constructed in Metro Manila, Philippines,
from Valenzuela to the Ninoy Aquino
International Airport (NAIA), connecting 17
stations and a depot. It will be the first mass
underground transport system in the
Philippines.
CALAX - CAVITE,
LAGUNA
EXPRESSWAY
The Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) involves the
financing, design and construction, operation and
maintenance of the entire 4-lane, 44.63 km closedsystem tolled expressway connecting CAVITEX and SLEX.
The Project will start from the CAVITEX in Kawit, Cavite
and end at the SLEX-Mamplasan Interchange in Biñan,
Laguna.

Motor Vehicle
User's Charge
Republic Act No. 8794 entitled, "An Act
Imposing a Motor Vehicle User's
Charge (MVUC) on Owners of all types of
Motor Vehicles and for other Purposes",
otherwise known as the MVUC Law which
was ratified in June 2000 stipulates that
all monies collected under this law shall
be earmarked and used exclusively for
road maintenance and improvements of
road drainage, installation of adequate
and efficient traffic lights and road safety
devices, and air pollution control.
Local Funds
With decentralization, LGUs are envisioned
to play a major role in altering the relative
attractiveness of urban centers to firms
and skilled labor by offering different
bundles of local services (most especially
infrastructure) vis-a-vis varying levels of
local taxes and user charges. More
specifically, LGUs can help affect the cost
of
doing
business
through
their
expenditure as well as regulatory policies
and thus, make their jurisdictions more
competitive to new investments relative to
other locations.
PerformanceBased Grants
The experience of DILG in managing the
SLRF is notable as it demonstrates the
catalytic impacts of fund allocations that
can be channeled to LGUs. Fund
allocations can be subject to appropriate
levels of monitoring and evaluation with a
mix of capacity-building strategies. In the
case of SLRF, DILG conducts field visits
and dialogues with concerned LGUs. The
DILG have also collected useful statistics
relating to the urban transport system of
LGUs
Public-private
partnerships
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are
contractual agreements between public
and private entities to deliver a
transportation project or service, in which
the private entity assumes some of the
risks and responsibilities, and receives
some of the revenues or returns. PPPs can
mobilize private capital and expertise for
transportation planning projects, as well
as improve efficiency and quality of service
delivery. PPPs can also foster innovation
and accountability in transportation
planning, as well as enhance public trust
and satisfaction.
SUMMARY
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS ARE SELECTED
BASED ON VARIETY OF FACTORS AND
CONSIDERATIONS.
THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS
IS USEFUL WHEN IT CAN ASSIST DECISION
MAKERS AND OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY
TO SELECT A COURSE OF ACTION FOR
IMPROVING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.
