THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), along with representatives from local government units in Metro Manila, convened on Wednesday for a Joint Technical Working Group Meeting focused on development planning for the Metro Manila Intelligent Transportation System (MMITS).
MMDA general manager and MMITS project director Procopio Lipana highlighted the workshop as a “collaborative platform for fostering innovation and shared learning.”
He emphasized that development of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) plan is crucial in creating a blueprint aimed at establishing a more interconnected and future-ready Metro Manila.
“It brings together the collective expertise, experiences, and perspectives of all stakeholders—LGUs, JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) experts, and the MMDA—toward a common goal: the creation of an intelligent, data-driven, and people-centered transport system that meets the growing needs of our citizens,” Lipana said in his opening remarks for the workshop held at the MMDA Head Office in Pasig City.
