| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The project is the first intervention in the Philippine's road-based public transport. ADB supported Davao City by developing an urban transport plan under policy advisory TA. This plan laid the groundwork for the public transport system improvement program, including performance-based franchising arrangements, extension of the service coverage area and hours of operation, and traffic management improvements to prioritize bus services at critical points across the network. The designs and specifications are prepared under the Infrastructure Preparation and Innovation Facility (IPIF). The TA will supplement support from the IPIF, which is focusing on design and project management for works and goods contracts, with support in the road sector capacity development and project and wide area of implementation support. In the Philippines, road based public transport has been operated privately and the intervention of the Government has been limited. However, the Omnibus Guideline issued in 2017 (footnote 10) requires the local public transport planning for issuance of franchises and aims to strengthen the intervention of the public sector. The project is the first city scale modernization following the guideline, and capacity of the Government needs to be strengthened. |
