Various studies have confirmed the numerous advantages of non transportation (NMT) especially on the environment and personal wellmotorized being of the commuter. Unfortunately its transportation modal share has always been negligible in the Philippines. Recently, the rapid rise in the price of oil...

Various studies have confirmed the numerous advantages of non transportation (NMT) especially on the environment and personal wellmotorized being of the commuter. Unfortunately its transportation modal share has always been negligible in the Philippines. Recently, the rapid rise in the price of oil and an overwhelming increase in environmental awareness have resurrected the intere sts of commuters, policymakers an d transport planners on the use and promotion of NMT. This study analyzes the Philippine case by reviewing its overall NMTrelated transport policies at the national and local levels and by investigating the use of pedicab s and bicycles in the country. The results reveal various sporadic initiatives in the promotion, use and regulation of NMT. Issues such as the lack of both hard and soft infrastructure (physical facilities and policies, respectively) serve as major impediments in the growth and development of NMT in the country. The challenge is to encourage different stakeholders in promoting NMT. |
