Key Transport and Environment Issues/Problems

in Cities


2007-2009

Cebu Iligan Cagayan de Oro

San Fernando(La Union)

• motorization: number of vehiclesannual growth rate (1994-2000): 7%annual growth rate (2000-2006): 4%

• travel demand private modes: 9.7% (1979) to 20.6% (1992) public modes: 90.3% (1979) to 79.4% (1992)

• number of vehicles has increased drastically between 2003 and 2004 by about 61.3 percent

• rise in number of motorcycles (113.94%) and jeepneys (81.50%)

• congestion along the national road

•　 rapid growth in the number of vehicles

• rapid increase of motor vehicles

• high volume of pedestrians crossing the roads

Problems in Cities – Motorization


2007-2009



sidewalk encroachment and sidewalk vendors

commercial use of sidewalks

sidewalk vendors impeding pedestrian traffic along sidewalks

• encroachment of vendors and businesses• uneven sidewalks due to uncoordinated design and lay-out

illegal parking • indiscriminate parking along the streets• inadequate parking spaces of existing commercial establishments

lack of parking spaces

Problems in Cities – Sidewalk and Parking


2007-2009



reckless/ undisciplined driversfailure to enforce traffic rules particularly jay walking and unloading/no parking

undisciplined drivers and pedestrians on the streets

lack of discipline presence of unruly motorists specifically public utility vehicle drivers

Problems in Cities – Lack of Discipline


2007-2009



• too many jeepneys/ vehicles on the road uncontrolled/ unlimited issuance of franchise for the public utility vehicles and issues concerning travel lines• rampant use of motorcycles for public transport known as the “habal-habal”

• presence of unauthorized/ illegal terminals and stalled vehicles along restricted streets• out of line public transportation vehicles• duplicated lines or service routes of motorelas

• lack of loading and unloading stations for public utility vehicles

Problems in Cities – Public Transport


2007-2009

Cebu Iligan Cagayan de Oro San Fernando• no new infra-structure improvement

• capacity is insufficient due to narrow roads

• insufficient network of roads (links, hierarchy)

• narrow road with poor pavement conditions

• limited bridges connecting east and west districts

• lack of traffic facilities at critical points

• lack of traffic management devices such as traffic signals and signages

• poor drainage system in certain areas which resulted to sparse flooding to these areas

Problems in Cities – Road and Traffic Facilities


2007-2009



• rampant traffic enforcement violations

• location of schools and other commercial establishments along main thoroughfares

• entry of delivery vans, trailers and trucks in the central business district during peak hours

• lack of manpower to direct traffic especially along intersections within the city

Problems in Cities – Other Problems


2007-2009

MarikinaMarikina is basically a “bedroom community”- lower daytime population as a considerable number of people work outside the city

The city used to experience problems common to other middle-sized cities:• encroachment of sidewalks • traffic congestion• poor infrastructure• deteriorating urban environment

• added burden due to encroachment of river easements• flooding

MANAGEMENT CONTEXT

• planning has been anchored on its city and regional development planning and economy

• transport infrastructure projects that followed after the first cycle of development planning such as the Metro Cebu Development Project (MCDP) that started to operate in the 1990s were based on plans and recommendations of the Metro Cebu Land Use and Transport Study (MCLUTS) in 1981

• setting up of Mayor’s Management Team


2007-200917

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC PROGRAMS

Metropolitan Planning and Development

Metro Cebu Land Use and Transport Study (MCLUTS), 1978-1981

The Cebu CityThe Cebu CityBus Rapid Transit (BRT) InitiativeBus Rapid Transit (BRT) Initiative

Cebu City BRT – how it started ...

• It started with Curitiba, Brazil.

• In 1996, Mayor Tomas Osmeña went to visit Curitiba with city traffic managers to see their bus system which was gaining worldwide popularity

• This was after he was mayor of Cebu City from 1988 – 1995.



2007-2009



When they came back, they shared what they learned to the then city leadership.

Specifically, through it’s political leader, Mayor Osmeña (a private citizen then), the city started to slowly move to two very important governance policy changes reflective of the transport and environment strategies of Curituba.



2007-2009



The two policy directions are:• “Land use planning and transport planning

cannot be separated: Osmeña preferred drawing out the transport corridors first, before laying the land use along it;”

• “Public Transport comes first, before Private Transport“

. . . both policies run counter to conventional wisdom



2007-2009



• Between 1996 and 2001, not much was done on the strengthening of these two policies and the establishment of a bus system similar to that of Curitiba, Brazil.

• CITOM continued to identify corridors and probable bus stations. Different LRT studies between 1992 and the present provided much information on these.



2007-2009

Light Rail Transit (LRT) Initiatives Light Rail Transit (LRT) Initiatives for Metro Cebufor Metro Cebu

It is significant to note that in all these initiatives,the Cebu City has opposed their approval

• 1992 – Pre-Feasibility Study for a Mass Transport System for Metro Cebu.

• 1996 – Technical Study for a Metro Cebu LRT submitted to DOTC

• 1999 – Feasibility Study for Mega-Cebu LRT/Rail Service

• 2005 – Unsolicited BOT Proposal submitted by AMA Group (still pending)



2007-2009



• In 2001, Mayor Osmeña got re-elected as mayor and revived his vision for an efficient bus system in Cebu City.

• CITOM attempted to steer to a new and less difficult strategy – The Stairless Jeepney concept. After a few technical studies, it was concluded that it won’t work as efficiently as desired.



2007-2009



• In 2007, Cebu City officials attended a forum with Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogota, Columbia.

• At about the same time, Cebu City started to discuss the BRT proposal with the DOTC, World Bank, JBIC, and ADB.

• Cebu City also joined in the EST consultations with DOTC and UP-NCTS.



2007-2009



• In 2008, Cebu City solicited the help of partner agencies for the promotion of a BRT system in Cebu – DOTC, UP-NCTS, USAID-ECAP and

CAI-Asia.

• In April of 2008, Cebu City submitted a request for assistance from PPIAF for a BRT demonstration corridor study for Cebu City through the World Bank



2007-2009



• Sept. 4-5, 2008, with the help of our partners, 4 sessions of seminars were held for different sectors in Cebu City – urban poor, politicians, transport groups, and academe.

• In September also, ADB-CDIA started a T/A study for the South Reclamation Proj. Which included a BRT system.



2007-2009



• Nov. 10-11, 2008, through the aid of CAI-Asia and ADB-CDIA, we invited Mayor Peñalosa to speak in Cebu City in relation to the BRT implementation in Bogota, Columbia.

• The visit of Mayor Peñalosa has stirred much interest in Cebu for the realization of it’s desired BRT system.



2007-2009



• September 2008, DOTC has committed to finance the Public Transport Strategic Plan for Metro Cebu.

• January 2009 – World Bank announced the approval of the PPIAF study;

• Today, there are three (3) studies about to start for the Cebu City – BRT.

LESSONS LEARNED• need for the establishment of a metropolitan

authority

• road capacity and network expansion alone is not the ultimate solution

• greater participation of the local government in public transport network development


2007-2009

EST Case Study: Iligan City

Dr. Noriel Christopher C. TiglaoAssociate Professor, UP-NCPAG/ NCTS


2007-2009

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT CONTEXT

• Traffic Management Code of Iligan City has been in place since 1972– Banning of tricycles at an early stage

• Enabling role of development assistance (ADB, AusAid)– One of the beneficiary cities under the Philippine

Regional Municipal Development Project (PRMDP)

42


2007-2009

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT CONTEXT (cont.)

• Philippine Regional Municipal Development Project (PRMDP)– Objectives include the provision of basic

infrastructure, strengthening of the cities’ capability and capacity to provide and operate, manage, and maintain infrastructure and essential municipal services

– Projects were implemented a few years after the enactment of the 1991 Local Government Code

43


2007-2009

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT CONTEXT (cont.)

• Project design under PRMDP were based on:1) dispersing growth through the development of

important provincial cities;2) decentralizing authority; 3) devolving responsibilities for local development

to local government units (LGU); and4) improving local governance

44


2007-2009

SPECIFIC PROGRAMS

1) Road Widening and Construction of Integrated Bus and Jeepney Public Transport Terminals

– Total costs of infrastructure projects totaled US$ 3.386 million

– Strategically located with complete amenities

45


2007-2009

SPECIFIC PROGRAMS (cont.)2) New Traffic Code (2002)

– Provides the creation of the Iligan City Traffic Management and Engineering Board (ICTMEB) tasked to monitor, evaluate, review and approve all traffic and engineering management schemes

– Provisions are improperly implemented due to lack of manpower and logistical resources

– Needs some amendments to include entities/agencies with mandates relevant to its operations

46


2007-2009

SUCCESSES ACHIEVED• The two newly constructed north and south

bound bus and jeepney terminals are already fully operational– Financial sustainability of terminals is supported

by user fees– Expected to accommodate buses and jeepneys en

route outside Iligan City until 2015– Has contributed to improvement of traffic

circulation

47


2007-2009

SUCCESSES ACHIEVED (cont.)

• High level of research and development capability of local academic institutions– Vehicle parking watch device developed by

MSU-IIT

48

2007-2009

LESSONS LEARNED• Interventions have somewhat focused on additional

infrastructure– Need to pursue Transport Systems Management (TSM)

approach (e.g. parking facility, roadside traffic management schemes, etc.)

• Need to establish cooperation/ partnerships among local stakeholders– Local government unit– National government agency– Academic institutions

• Environment Code of 2006 – transportation and environment management is included incorporated in the chapter on Urban Air Quality Management


2007-200958

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC PROGRAMS• Tricycle Conversion (2000-present)

– conversion of the City’s three-wheeler public transport (tricycles) from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engine motorcycles

– dialogue with tricycle transport group in 2001– city offered interest-free loan programs in 2002– annual inspection of tricycles– franchise cap at 1,600 tricycles– rerouting and other traffic schemes


2007-200959

• Tricycle Conversion (2000-present)

– preventive maintenance workshop in 2005– interest-free loans to tricycle cooperatives– annual sputum test check-up – Memorandum Order 116 (Conversion of All TODAs

to a Transport Service Cooperative/ Federation

TSP concentration was monitored as one of the measure the impacts of the program


2007-200960

SUCCESSED ACHIEVED• without enacting an

ordinance to ban the use of the 2-stroke engines, the City Government was able to convince the operators and drivers to switch to 4-stroke engines


2007-200961

SUCCESSED ACHIEVED• from 2001 to 2005, the percentage of 4-stroke

units has dramatically increased from 29% to 70%

• as of October 2007, the number of 2-stroke units decreased to 89 (6%) and the number of 4-stroke units increased to 1,511 (94%)

in cooperation with the LTFRB


2007-200965

LESSONS LEARNED• the Tricycle Conversion Program which

became the Clean Air Program has shown that it is possible to voluntarily implement a local transport and environment program

• key elements: early engagement of the tricycle transport groups through IEC and dialogue and benefits and incentives from the City


2007-200966

FUTURE DIRECTIONS• continuation of components of the Clean Air

　　 Program focusing on the tricycles

　　 (IEC, medical check-up, tricycle terminals)

• City has strong support for “walkable city” since

most major areas and institutions including the

proposed public transport terminals are within

walking distance (updates to be given in the presentation of the City of San Fernando)

Promoting Non-Motorized Transport in the Philippines:

The Marikina Experience

Dr. Noriel C. TiglaoAssociate Professor, UP-NCPAG/ NCTS


2007-2009

MANAGEMENT CONTEXT

• The physical transformation of the city is anchored on promoting order on the city’s sidewalks– “Disiplina sa Bangketa” (Discipline along the

Sidewalk)

• The city government is a strong advocate of clean air


2007-2009

PHYSICAL RECONSTRUCTION AND SOCIAL REORIENTATION


2007-2009

THE MARIKINA BIKEWAYS PROJECT• The city of Marikina is an excellent site to

establish the pilot project as the city’s transport congestion has not yet reached intolerable levels

• About 10,500 daily trips (2.9% of all trips) are still made by bicycle (Based on 1996 MMUTIS)

• In comparison, approximately 160,200 trips (1.7 %) are made by bicycle in Metro Manila


2007-2009

THE MARIKINA BIKEWAYS PROJECT (cont.)

• Under the baseline or “business-as-usual” scenario, increased motorized traffic in Marikina will reduce the safety of bicycle travel and the use of bicycles to the lower level now experienced in the rest of Metro Manila


2007-2009

Marikina City’s Motivation

• We cannot widen our streets anymore; we have to plan and implement sustainable transport alternatives to make traffic manageable in the future

• In other words, our traffic situation doesn’t have to become chaotic in the future


2007-2009

THE MARIKINA BIKEWAYS PROJECT (cont.)

• Components:– 49.7 km of segregated bikeways on existing roads, and 16.6 km of

bikeways along the Marikina river, connecting to the new LRT station;– Traffic slowing and pedestrian facilities around schools and market

areas, and provision of bicycle parking facilities at key interchanges;– Lighting, where necessary, to ensure safety after hours;– A public awareness campaign;– A bicycle safety program; and– A rigorous monitoring and evaluation program and major

dissemination effort


2007-2009

Total length: 51,638.44 m (51.6 km) of bikeways as of 2008Total Project Cost: PhP146.8 million(from Marikina City – PhP82.9 millionfrom WB/GEF – PhP63.9 million)


2007-2009

SUCCESSES ACHIEVED• Marikina City Bikeways Office

– The City government created an office to manage and supervise the bikeways system

– The office continues to conduct education and advocacy campaigns for Non-MotorizedTransport, e.g. Safe Cycling Education and Saturday Bicycle Clinic to promote "Bike-To-School“ commuting


2007-2009

SUCCESSES ACHIEVED (cont.)

• To strengthen and to sustain the advocacy, the city government included the in traffic management code the rules and regulations of Non-Motorized Transport and the city construct a cycling track at the city's main sports park to support cycling enthusiasts in encouraging others to get into this sport.


2007-2009

SUCCESSES ACHIEVED (cont.)• Bicycle Ownership Survey showed that 55% of

families in Marikina owned or has access to a bicycle, majority of which (or 22%) is used for bikes to work purposes

• Simultaneous efforts:– Discard the two stroke motorcycles, proper

maintenance of car, factories and industrial machinery, planting of trees, anti smoke belching and strict monitoring of industrial emissions


2007-2009

SUCCESSES ACHIEVED (cont.)• In recognition of the city’s efforts, the Marikina

Bikeways Project was Awarded by the Gawad Galing Pook last 2005 as the Outstanding Program in Local Governance and addition to this, World Bank cited Marikina as one of the four Model Cities in the World during the World Bank’s Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics in June 2006 in Tokyo


2007-2009

LESSONS LEARNED• Development funding and political will were

the main drivers of the success of Marikina Bikeways Project

• The city government was able to maintain and sustain the physical condition of the bikeway

• The city was able to reduce air pollution, noise pollution and it makes Marikina safe to live but sustainability of the project continues to be a big challenge


2007-2009

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

• Continuous education of residents on the benefits of using bicycle as a transport mode

• Regular conduct of following programs:– Safe Cycling Education– Saturday Bicycle Clinic– Bicycle Loan Project (City Ordinance 92 Series of

2004)


2007-2009

FUTURE DIRECTIONS (cont.)• Strengthen the Marikina Bikeways Program

through:– Permanent bicycle training camp and playground– Bicycle Museum of Marikina– Legislation of the Bicycle Code of Marikina– Continuously share the Marikina Bikeways

experience to internal communities and LGUs• Focus on replication
