The Department of Transportation (DOTr) will establish 470 kilometers of bike lanes this year as part of the government’s active transport infrastructure project.
“An additional 470 kilometers of protected bike lanes and pedestrian infrastructure will be built to stay true to our commitment to making active transport a viable transportation and mobility option,” DOTr Assistant Secretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure James Andres Melad said.
“The establishment of the protected bike lanes will contribute to the change in perspective and hopefully result in a change in the way we view and use public roads,” he added.
The DOTr’s active transport campaign aims to establish 2,400 kilometers of bike lanes in 2028 to provide safe infrastructure for cyclists, commuters, and other road users.
The agency has lined up road projects for 2023, including the expansion of active transport infrastructure in nine regions, the Intramuros Active Transport Infrastructure Expansion, and the Quezon City Bike Bridge.
