II. Provincial Government Initiatives and Efforts

1. PG Pampanga has a Local Public Transport Route Plan but not yet approved
by the LTFRB (for compliance on the evaluation result of the LTFRB such as
Traffic Impact Analysis).
2. Provincial Planning and Development Office, and the Provincial Engineer’s
Office are the designated offices for the implementation of the plans/schemes.
3. Arch./EnP. Raymund Dizon was designanted as the lead personnel.
4. PG Pampanga proposed motorcycling lane for their programs/projecs on
COVID-19 rehabilitation and recovery plan.

III. Data Analysis

Fifteen (15) out of the twenty one (21) LGUs of Pampanga has LPTRP or
translated as 71.43% provincial compliance. This data or rate of compliance may be
considered high but this should not be the ideal case considering that all LGUs shall
have their own LPTRP. This is also, somehow, the case for the compliance rate of LGUs
with designated unit/ office/ personnel for the implementation of the plan/ scheme with
the rate of 52.38%. These rates of compliance may be accounted to the LGUs that are
yet to organize their Transport Regulatory Teams.

Also, only 7 out of 21 LGUs has identified roads for cycling lanes/ walking paths.
Per analysis, this is due to the physical landscape of each LGUs which are not yet ready
in providing such, On a positive note, the LGUs are still considering to include cycling
lanes and walking paths as they revisit their transport route plan.

As of reporting period only one (1) LGU has an ordinance relative to the provision
of walking paths only. This maybe because roads in the said LGU are too narrow to
setup cycling lanes. Other LGUs are still on the process of drafting their ordinances.

Lastly, since most of the LGUs are yet to provide cycling lanes and walking paths,
both LGUs implementing measures (IEC) to disseminate information and LGUs with
identified PPAs got a compliance rate of 23.81%.

IV. Issues and Concerns

1. Revision of Local Public Transport Route Plan to include cycling lanes and
walking paths
2. Ordinance of some LGUs are still subject for approval of the Sanggunian.
3. Certain LGUs will revisit their Transport Route Plan and consider the provisions

respective LPTRP should the plan include national roads.\
2. Strict monitoring and evaluation of LPTRPs.
