The project development objective of the Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project is to assist the Government of the Philippines in enhancing the economic productivity and quality of life of Metro Manila residents by improving the operational efficiency and safety of the transport system and access to public transport and nonmotorized transport. The project has five components. The first funds public transport improvement measures comprising integration between modes, improvement of interchange facilities, and measures for introducing public transport priority; traffic management; measures for controlling inappropriate frontage activity and measures for improving road safety for pedestrians by providing sidewlaks and other facilities; measures for bicycles and pedicabs; and safe bicycle parking at stations. Landscaping and greening will be included in all project components. The second component improves access to the MARIPAS-Marikina Valley area (Marikina, Rizal, and Pasig), specificallyrelieving the Marcos Highway/Aurora Boulevard corridor and establishing an at-grade traffic management scheme--which will act as an efficient conduit for traffic to and from Metro Manila, and extending a critical road section. The third component comprises improvements to secondary roads such as pavement rehabilitation and drainage and sidewalk improvements. The fourth component supports non-motorized transport and the fifth component builds capacity in traffic management.
