Project KaLakBay is a joint initiative between the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) aimed at promoting active transport (walking and cycling) in Metro Manila. The project supports sustainable mobility through a participatory and data-driven approach to spatial planning and decision-making. Key components include the development of a bicycle demand estimation model, deployment of monitoring systems, and capacity-building for DOTr personnel. The initiative also explores emerging transport modes like motorcycle taxis and electric tricycles. It is backed by Php 2.93 million in funding and is designed to align with the government’s vision for inclusive, safe, and efficient mobility in the post-pandemic era.
