Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines (MUCEP) Project Completion Report 1 Introduction 1.1 Background The acceleration of economic activities and the concentration of population in Metropolitan Manila and other cities in the Philippines have caused severe social problems such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and deterioration of the living environment. In particular, the increase in private vehicle numbers has generated traffic congestion. In 2009, the number of registered vehicles in Metro Manila amounted to 1.77 million, or an increase of 11% from 2007 levels. In the same year, the number of traffic accidents was reported to have reached 64,747 cases1. To tackle these problems, but global warming issues as well which have recently captured the attention of leaders and policy makers, it is crucial not only to develop the public transportation (PT) network but also to integrate and strengthen linkages between and among transportation modes. In so doing, investments in an integrated infrastructure development will also support a sustainable economic growth. The development of transportation infrastructure should be planned comprehensively and should include all transportation modes for land, sea, and air. In the Philippines, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), the overall entity responsible for national transportation
