MESSAGE

Mabuhay!

As Governor of the Province of Batangas and as Regional Development Council Chairperson of CALABARZON and Luzon, I would like to express my full support to the Traffic Management Plan initiated by the Sectoral Committee on Infrastructure Development of the Regional Development Council in order to improve the traffic situation in CALABARZON.

In addition, I also welcome the efforts of all the concerned agencies with hope for successful results since transportation is a very integral part of the development of the region. The relief on the roads that the management plan aims to provide coupled with on-going road-widening projects will improve the traffic problem faced by our everyday constituents. Currently, CALABARZON has a high density population and the solution provided by NEDA Region IV-A is very timely in order to uplift the daily lives of our motorists. With this, may we persist in our commitment to ensure that the region will continue to be progressive and economically competitive. And as we march onwards to attain the goal of full development let us work together for the advancement of the whole CALABARZON Region.

MESSAGE

We thank all the non-government organizations, the academe, the local government representatives, the national government agencies, and all stakeholders who have come and helped put up the Traffic Management Plan. We thank the Land Transportation Office Region IV-A for taking the lead of the Technical Working Group. We thank NEDA Region IV-A for the invaluable assistance. May we continue to see more participative collaboration among government units, national and local and every sector of society. Our mission is to make land transport safe, convenient, affordable and dependable for everybody. Our vision is to eventually see government officers and private citizens able to travel to any point in CALABARZON and make it to their destination ON TIME any day without the need for private cars. Towards this end, coordination among the LTO, LTFRB, the DOTr Family and the Local Government Units is indispensable. We hope for the TWG to continue meeting for the review and refinement of the plan as observe its implementation. Let us dedicate our efforts to the people of CALABARZON.

MESSAGE

The Calabarzon Traffic Management Plan 2017-2022 is

a pioneering and ongoing initiative of the Regional

Development Council. In the formulation of the traffic

management plan, we have ensured that the different

stakeholders in the region were consulted, involving

the national and regional agencies, local government

units, private sector representatives and non-

government institution.

The traffic management plan is an active document that will be continually enhanced. We encourage all stakeholders in traffic management particularly the Land Transportation Office and local government units to converge and adopt the plan to harmonize programs and projects in addressing traffic issues, at the same time providing safe, quality and timely transportation services. Likewise, the support of other regional line agencies, academe and private sector is very important for the success of this initiative. The RDC will continue to support every initiative on traffic management and provide policy directions towards the attainment of the objectives of the Calabarzon Traffic Management Plan 2017-2022. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all those who contributed in

improving the Traffic Management Plan.

MESSAGE

It has been a great challenge for the LTO to head the CALABARZON Technical Working Group on Traffic Management Plan. Our efforts are toward the prevention of a traffic gridlock in Southern Tagalog. We should not wait that Metro Manila traffic experience spill in our region. The CALABARZON Traffic Management Plan is only a step towards a bigger struggle. This Plan is a by-product of the Traffic Management

Study approved as a banner project of the Regional Development Council (RDC)

based on the recommendation of the Sectoral Committee on Infrastructure

Development (SCID) and a result of the collaboration of the key agencies and the

support of several private sectors. We are proud to claim that our region is the

first to initiate such project among other regions.

The detrimental traffic situation in our society keeps worsening and calls for

immediate actions. This document features the challenges and strategies of the

region regarding traffic problems, and the implementation plan, monitoring and

evaluation to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of this project.

This plan is just a framework so it is not yet the end but the start of the real

hardwork to solve traffic problems. I urge the contributing agencies to continue

working on this endeavour and to achieve our goals.

I extend my warmest compliments to the sectors which took part on this

modest accomplishment.

Introduction 1

Calabarzon Traffic Management Plan

I. Introduction

1. Background

The preparation of the traffic management plan in Calabarzon was

recommended by the Sectoral Committee on Infrastructure Development (SCID)

during its meeting on 12 August 2016 through Resolution No. IV-A-11-2016 and

was approved by the Regional Development Council (RDC) during its meeting on

01 September 2016 through Resolution No. IV-A-113-2016. The plan was initiated

to address the worsening traffic situations in Calabarzon. The Plan contains the

current situation, challenges, strategies, priority programs, projects and activities

in the medium term on traffic management. The Plan also include support

infrastructure projects.

This plan is an offshoot of the Traffic Management Study approved as a

banner project of the RDC based on the recommendation of the SCID. The Traffic

Management Study started with the conduct of a regional consultation on 03

August 2016 which was participated by the different government agencies, local

government units and private sector representatives. The creation of the technical

working group (TWG) chaired by the Land Transportation Office Region IV-A was

approved by the RDC to spearhead the formulation, implementation and

monitoring of the traffic management plan. Strategic planning workshop was

conducted on 25 January 2017 for the identification and validation of the various

interventions and convergence efforts on traffic management.

2. Planning Area

Region IV-A or Calabarzon is located in the south western part of Luzon.

The region is bounded by the National Capital Region (NCR) or Metro Manila and

Central Luzon in the north and Bicol Region in the south, Pacific Ocean in the east

and Mimaropa Region in the west. Calabarzon is the fifth smallest region in terms

of land area with 14.41 million people as of 2015. The region has a total land area

of 16,228.61 square kilometers and is composed of 5 provinces, 19 cities, 123

municipalities, and 4,011 barangays as of 2015.

Situational Analysis 3

II. Situational Analysis

1. Urbanization

The increase in the number of motor vehicles in Calabarzon can be directly

associated with its fast urbanization (Table 1). The rapid urbanization in the region

were attributed to the development of industrial parks and ecozones, commercial

centers and housing projects due to its proximity to Metro Manila. The region still

continues to attract investors in housing development, leisure and recreation

parks and facilities, educational institutions and mixed-used real estate

developments. These developments have also penetrated the provinces in the

region which are not near Metro Manila such as, Batangas and Quezon.

Situational Analysis 5

2. Road Network and Motor Vehicles

The total length of national roads in the region is 2,517.66 kilometers as of

2016. There was an increase of 87.47 kilometers since 2010. About 96.52

percent of the national road are already paved while the remaining 3.48 percent

are still unpaved.

Widening of the national roads is ongoing. However, obstructions like

electrical posts, telecommunication utilities and trees have prevented motorists

from using the newly widened road and caused delay in road widening works.

These obstructions are traffic hazards and constrict the flow of traffic. The national

road network map is shown in Figure 3. For local roads2, there are 903.19

kilometers of provincial roads and 296.13 kilometers of city roads.

Figure 3. Calabarzon National Road Network

Source: DPWH

The Land Transportation Office registered 1,187,957 vehicles in 2016

which is 5.91 percent higher than the previous year. The privately owned vehicles

comprised the most number of vehicles at 1,021,014 units or 86.38 percent of the

total registered vehicles.

Situational Analysis 6

In terms of road density per land area, Calabarzon at 0.22 km/sq.km. is

better than the national average of 0.05 km/sq.km. but far from NCR’s 1.86

km/sq.km. In terms of road density per 1000 population, Calabarzon’s 0.26

km/000 population is better than the national average of 0.15 km/000 population

and NCR’s 0.09 km/000 population.

3. Annual Average Daily Traffic

The annual average daily traffic (AADT) or the average volume of traffic of

a highway per day in the region has reached its peak at more than 37,000.

Figure 4. AADT Map, 2015

Source: DPWH

Page 17: calabarzon.neda.gov.phcalabarzon.neda.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Traffic-Mgt-Plan-2018.pdf · Region IV-A or Calabarzon is located in the south western part of Luzon. The region

Situational Analysis 7

A high AADT signifies severe 24-hour traffic congestion at a given section of a

highway. As indicated in the 2015 AADT map (Figure 3), the highest AADT are

experienced in major thoroughfares near the NCR.

4. Road Volume Capacity Ratio

Volume capacity ratio or VCR is the ratio of vehicles passing a point in one

hour with the maximum number of cars that can pass a certain point at the

reasonable traffic condition. It is used to assess traffic status. Figure 2 shows the

volume capacity ratio (VCR) along the national roads in Calabarzon. Road with

VCR greater than 1.50 is beyond capacity, 1.0 to 1.50 VCR is at and above

capacity, 0.75 to 1.0 VCR is reaching capacity and less than 0.75 VCR is below

capacity3. There are roads that are already beyond and above capacity as shown

in the map (Figure 5).

5. Road Safety and Accidents

The Philippine National Police data showed that 77.97 percent of road

accidents was caused by human factors namely driver error (34.35%), drunk

driving (1.84%), overspeeding (11.59%), hit and run (4.99%), bad overtaking

(8.51%), overloading (5.51%), self accident (4.37%), bad turning (6.04%) and

using cellphone (0.77%). The remaining 22.03 percent was caused by

mechanical defects (11.5%), road defects (6.54%) and other causes (3.99%).

6. Key Agencies in Traffic Management

There are several agencies involved in the implementation of traffic

management initiatives and enforcement of traffic rules and regulations. The

primary agency is the Department of Transportation (DOTr) in particular the Land

Transportation Office in Calabarzon which is in charge in the development,

implementation and regulation of urban transport systems. The other agencies

involved in the region are shown in Table 4.

Table 4. Key Agencies Involved in Traffic Management

Agency Function

Land Transportation Office Driver licensing and registration of all motorized land-based transportation vehicles and enforcement of Republic Act 4136

Challenges 9

III. Challenges

1. Traffic volume exceeds road capacities. Roads that exceed capacities

cause traffic congestion and choke points in intersections.

2. Road obstructions along road right-of-way. The obstructions are comprise

of the electrical and utility posts, parked vehicles, illegal vendors,

establishments and trees that encroach on the road right-of-way (RROW).

These obstructions are traffic and accident hazards.

3. Violation of land transport and traffic rules and regulations. The violations

include driver errors, colorum vehicles, out-of-line vehicles, illegal transport

terminals and overloading, among others.

4. Lack of structure or unified system in traffic enforcement. There is no

unified system in enforcing traffic rules. The LTO and LGUs implement traffic

management separately and impose different penalties for traffic violations. In

some cases, they overlap in their functions.

5. Poor traffic management. The traffic enforcers lack expertise to properly and

effectively manage traffic flow. There is a limited number of traffic aides and

enforcers in many LGUs.

6. Insufficient infrastructures. There are road sections that need widening,

loading bays, unloading bays, emergency bays, signages, overpass, flyover,

bypass/diversion roads, street lights and other geometric improvements to

facilitate flow of traffic and safety of pedestrians along the road.

7. Disaster risks. Land transport infrastructures are affected by flooding and

have a high risk of damage by earthquake.

8. Lack of awareness on traffic rules and regulations. Not all road users i.e.,

motorists and pedestrians are familiar with traffic rules and regulations which

led to traffic violations and accidents.

Strategies 11

V. Strategies

The traffic management plan supports the strategy of the RDP 2017-2022

for land transport sector to improve mobility and flow of traffic and maintain safer

and secure environment. The following strategies shall be pursued in coordination

and partnership with national agencies and LGUs involved in traffic management.

1. Expand road capacity. Most of the roads in the region are two lanes and

cannot accommodate the increasing number of vehicular traffic. Roads and

bridges widening works shall be continued together with the removal of

obstructions along the RROW. Tricycles and parking shall be banned along

the national highway.

2. Construct alternate routes. Construction of bypass road, diversion road,

flyover, underpass, expressway and railway system shall be pursued to divert

traffic from congested road sections. One bypass or diversion road per

province shall be prioritized for feasibility study and construction.

3. Enhance traffic control strategies. Traffic management studies in problem

areas or sections shall be conducted to determine the traffic impact levels and

recommend traffic control strategies. These strategies shall include vehicle

control in congested road sections such as lane shifts or closures, one-way,

two-way or reversible/zipper lanes, detours, work-hour restrictions,

pedestrian/bicycle access, traffic signs, pavement markings, traffic signals and

lighting devices, among others.

4. Strengthen capability of LGUs in traffic management and project

development. All municipal, city and provincial LGUs shall be capacitated on

traffic management and deputized as traffic enforcers. The LGUs shall be

trained on transport planning and feasibility study preparation to enable them

to access funds for project implementation.

5. Establish a unified system in the enforcement of traffic laws. There has to

be a unified or integrated system among the LGUs, LTO, DILG and other

agencies particularly in the apprehension of traffic law violations and road

accident investigations including single ticket system.

6. Lessen vulnerability of damage to land transport infrastructures.

Structural soundness of roads, railway and drainage system should be

ensured. Assessment, improvement and retrofitting of these facilities shall be

pursued to withstand damage from natural disasters such as typhoon, flood

and earthquake.
