Abstract:

The Philippine Urban Mobility Programme has a vision towards ‘people-oriented cities empowered by efficient, dignified, and sustainable mobility.This concept document presents how national government can support cities in achieving that goal, including a list of activities for the key thematic areas of non-motorised or active transport and urban freight. It also touches on thematic areas of public transport (through the jeepney modernisation programme), travel demand management, and transit oriented development. Ultimately, the proposed actions can potentially reduce GHG emissions by a total of 15.01–27.13 MtCO2e over ten years, in addition to improving air quality, road safety, among other co-benefits.
