This project sought to understand the geospatial mobility and access problems of the poor and vulnerable in Metro Manila, identify the existing and emerging initiatives (i.e., government services, business models, and social enterprises) that respond to these problems, and the market and policy enablers and barriers that facilitate or hinder these initiatives. The Project initiated a metro-wide conversation among stakeholders in government (national and local, private sector, non-governmental, and community sectors) about the "New Mobility" initiative and the future of public transportation in Metro Manila. ![]() The project was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. The Ateneo School of Government implemented a project entitled "Catalyzing New Mobility in Cities: The Case of Metro Manila" as part of its Innovations at the Base of the Pyramid in Southeast Asia (iBoP Asia) Program. The paper also gives a glimpse of how Philippine democracy operates in the policy arena, and how increasingly civil society and private sector engagement and consultation are creating an increasingly positive environment for policy reform in transport. ![]() An effort is made to describe the operation of these policies on the ground, and how conflicts are generated and attempted to be resolved. This paper deals with national to local transport-related policy and their application to Metro Manila. Foremost among these is the tension between a decentralization policy enshrined in the 1987 Constitution that serves development in a country of 7,100 islands but is at cross-purposes with the requirements of an integrated metropolitanization regime for Metro Manila. The case of Metro Manila’s suboptimal transport governance regime is a product of political, economic, and cultural forces over decades of dealing wit h problems of a developing country. Metro Manila is also one of the biggest (13 million) and fastest growing metropolises in the world. This is occasioned by the number of local government units located in the metropolis (17 cities and municipality) as well as various national government agencies with transport-related mandates operating in the region. Metro Manila provides the arena for describing and analyzing the complexity and dynamics of transport governance in the country. This paper aims to provide a situationer on transport governance in the Philippines, as they apply to Metro Manila.
