Solon pushes 30-yr. transport infra roadmap

A congressional leader on Saturday pushed for the enactment of a bill that seeks to legislate a 30-year National Transportation Program (NTP) dubbed “The Future of Mobility in the Philippines Act.” 

Samar Rep. Edgar Mary Sarmiento, chairman of the House committee on transportation, cited the need to create a long-term transportation infrastructure roadmap that would depoliticize the funding, implementation, and prioritization of all transportation-related projects.

Sarmiento authored House Bill 9468 which has already been approved by his committee.

He said the bill’s enactment would codify the direction of the country’s transportation infrastructure roadmap and ensure uninterrupted implementation of all projects that are included in the 30-year NTP even with the changing of administrations.

“The perennial problem in the country is the difficulty in planning and implementing major infrastructure programs which involve multi-year implementation Multiple changes are being implemented on government plans for infrastructure over the years. Thus, it makes it more grueling to meet the goals of the long-term plans being set for the country,” said Sarmiento said in a statement.

“Major infrastructure projects are usually complex and capital intensive which often needs adequate planning and efficient implementation,” he added.

Sarmiento said that by legislating a transportation infrastructure roadmap that spans 30 years (2023-2052), a shift in the political climate can have no effect on the timeline of its implementation, and “we can ensure that there is continuity” despite a change in the national leadership.

HB 9468 provides a list of core projects to be implemented between 2023 and 2052 and can only be updated every five years by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) in coordination with the Congressional oversight and the implementing agencies.

It may be updated every five years by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), in coordination with the oversight and implementing agencies.

Listed as part of the core projects for road transport are 19 Inter-regional and regional roads and expressways in major road transport corridors of the country, and six metropolitan and urban road and expressway systems.

They include the North Luzon Expressway to Ilocos Region and Cagayan Valley; the Central Luzon East-West Links for Nueva Ecija-Tarlac and Tarlac-Zambales; South Luzon Expressway to Bicol Region; Luzon Eastern Seaboard Highway; Sta. Ana, Cagayan-Atimonan, Quezon;

The Metropolitan Manila Circumferential 5 Southlink Expressway; Metropolitan Manila Circumferential 6 Expressway; Metropolitan Cebu Expressway; Bohol Bypass Road; Metropolitan Davao Expressway and Metropolitan Manila Logistics Network.

For rail and other mass transportation/long-haul rail systems, the following are listed as core projects: Manila to Clark Airport and other parts of North Luzon; Manila to the Bicol Region; Subic-Clark Railway and the Mindanao Rail Network.
