No community is required to design public transportation together, space
Amid calls for improving the safety and accessibility of roads in the Philippines, stakeholders urged the government to increase participation in public transport systems and urban spaces that are designed.
In the Philippines Mobility Summit 2025, advocates from colleges, civil society, NGOs and the private sector seek commitment from government transport agencies to work with them to travel “safe, inclusive, sustainable, efficient, reliable, reliable and person-oriented.” ”
The Philippine Mobility Summit held in Ayala in Makati City on September 15 was the culmination of the “Philippine Mobility Series” that discusses road safety, inclusive urban public places, low-cost mass transport and transportation transformation from April to August.
The first ever summit in the country was proposed by Altmability PH and co-starred by the Ministry of Transport (DOTR). This is supported by a coalition; sponsored and co-sponsored by Grab, Ayala and Giz, as well as the Asian Foundation and Ayala Land.
At the summit, stakeholders and government officials (such as DOTR USEC). For road transport and infrastructure, Mark Steven Pastor, LTFRB Director Joel Bolano and Quezon City Assistant Chief Executive Alberto Kimpo signed “Mobility for All: Commitment Commitment.”
Commitment Commitment cites five key points:
1) Strengthen institutional and governance frameworks through stronger institutions, clearer policies and more open collaborations to improve liquidity, transportation planning and management.
2) Make roads safer through inclusive street design and climate-rich infrastructure, especially for the most vulnerable: prioritize children, older people, disabled people, pedestrians and cyclists.
3) Develop and promote public places for recreation, walking and cycling and ensure they are safe, easy to access and welcome.
4) Enhance our transportation system by investing, improving and expanding public transportation options and ensuring complementarity and connectivity of all modes of transportation.
5) Maintain fairness and transparency in the use of public funds on transportation plans and projects, and integrate social protection into transportation policies.
“The Philippines Liquidity Summit is a timely and critical gathering of stakeholders from various sectors,” said Booey Bonifacio of Grab Philippines.
She added: “The output of this summit is groundbreaking because it promotes a co-development framework, which means people are involved in the production and design of government transport and action plans, providing not only consistency but also a sense of responsibility.”
