Draft TOR: Formulation of the Philippine Transportation Master Plan

Terms of Reference
FORMULATION OF THE PHILIPPINE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN

1. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE

1.1. The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 puts emphasis on the
important role of the transportation sector in facilitating the movement of people,
goods and services in support of the performance of other productive sectors and
in the provision of equitable access to basic services. The construction of transport
facilities is deemed one of the major drivers of accelerated infrastructure spending
given the large investments required for transport systems like toll roads and
tunnels, railways, airports, and sea ports, among others. The challenge for the
sector, however, is the lack of a central reference document that unifies the results
of various transport-related plans formulated for the respective transport sub-
sectors, i.e., roads and bridges, railways, civil aviation, maritime and urban
transport, by entities from both the national and local levels of Government. With
the increasing demand for transport services, it is imperative that the Government
ensure that transport projects are strategically built and operated to complement
each other within an interconnected network of multimodal systems.

1.2. The National Transport Policy (NTP) intends to guide all transport-related
agencies in pursuing policy decisions and future investments by setting the
parameters for planning at the agency level whose outputs shall be evaluated and
approved on the basis of their compliance and consistency with such policy. The
formulation of a comprehensive transport master plan on a nationwide scale is one
of the strategies espoused in the NTP particularly to ensure a holistic and
evidence-based program/project selection process.

1.3. In this regard, the NEDA shall engage services of the Consultants to formulate a
Philippine Transportation System Master Plan (PTSMP), the results of which, (i)
will be used by the NEDA – Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) in the
evaluation/appraisal of transport infrastructure projects, particularly in ensuring
that plans and projects are well-prepared from a network perspective; (ii) will be
used by implementing agencies to guide the respective planning and programming
exercises; and (iii) will be used as reference by stakeholders in other productive
sectors, e.g., implementing agencies, private sector, etc., in preparing their
respective sector development plans and programs.

2. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

2.1. The study aims to come up with a master plan, formulated based on a detailed
assessment of the existing national transport network and the results of a
comprehensive analysis of the gaps therein, to:

2.1.1. Guide the rational development of an intermodal transport network in the

country through coordinated planning and operation of projects and
programs as an integrated network of intermodal sub-systems; and

2.1.2. Promote sub-regional economic cooperation/agglomeration and utilization

of multimodal transport system for more efficient connectivity between
industrial/production areas, major cities, and rural areas in line with the

Page 1 of 15
 Draft TOR: Formulation of the Philippine Transportation Master Plan

Government’s direction to decentralize development away from highly

urbanized cities and metropolis.

2.2. The study also aims to enhance the capacity of NEDA and other concerned
agencies/institutions on the various transport planning tools and techniques,
especially those employing new technology, through training workshops.

current condition, traffic/demand (passenger and freight) served, operation
and maintenance (O&M), and regulation.

3.1.3. Analyze and forecast passenger and freight movements, i.e., through
origin-destination survey, etc., and formulate relevant baseline indicators,
e.g., transport cost/shipping cost, travel time, environmental impact, etc.

3.1.4. Identify critical bottlenecks in transport infrastructure development in

terms of, among others, quality, adequacy, efficiency, accessibility, safety,
and environmental and social aspects, as well as emerging issues and
challenges brought about by rapid urbanization, population growth, etc.
