The document summarizes the Bayanihan sa Daan Movement, which aims to transform EDSA and other roads in the Philippines to prioritize public transportation and make walking and biking safer and more convenient. The movement's goals are to improve public transportation and air quality while providing proper spaces for non-motorized transport. On June 28th, the movement will launch the EDSA Evolution event, where certain lanes of EDSA will be dedicated to buses, private vehicles, and new bike lanes and wider sidewalks to encourage public transit, walking, and biking. The event aims to prove this road sharing model can work on one of the country's busiest roads.

Event Summary
On June 28, Sunday, the Filipino People1 will take over the historic E. de los
Santos Avenue and launch the EDSA Evolution. The movement seeks to transform
the roads of the country, starting with the most congested road from being roads
meant solely for motor vehicles into becoming roads designed to move people in a way
that is safe, efficient, convenient, reliable, and affordable.
What is the Road Sharing principle?
1 This is a movement of the Filipino people, some of whom are from Government
(MMDA, DPWH, DENR, DILG, DOTC-LTFRB, DSWD, Ombudsman, local governments,
etc.), civil society organizations, and ordinary citizens.

The principle of
Bayanihan sa Daan
(Road Sharing) is that
roads are meant to move
people, not motor
vehicles. The motor
vehicles are equipment that can
move people over long distances and must be used in
a manner that is safe, efficient, convenient and
reliable.
Simply put, it is the just sharing of roads, properly
organizing busses, private vehicles and the allocation
of bike lanes and wider, more useable pedestrian
lanes.
What is the goal of the Movement?
The Main goal of the movement is to fix, current traffic situation on EDSA, by making
public transportation more efficient, easy and reliable for commuters. Doing so
should lessen the people’s reliability on private transportation. Concurrently, the
movement aims to enable people to have the option to walk or bike along EDSA, by
providing wider sidewalks and bike lanes.
Why EDSA?
Why not? EDSA is the main artery of Metro Manila. Running through 6 cities along
its entire stretch, it is estimated that between 600,000 to more than a million
vehicles ply EDSA daily. With so many passengers and pedestrians, EDSA is often the
focus of pedestrian and commuter complaints as seen on the news and social media.
If we can prove to that road sharing can be done on one of the busiest, most
important, and most iconic thoroughfares in the country, we can confidently show
that it can be done on other roads.
The long term plan is to do this every Sunday after June 28, to get people used to the
improved public transportation and to be able to walk and bike at will.
How will this be implemented?
Both North and Southbound sides of EDSA will be divided as follows:
2-3 lanes for non-motorized transportation divided for people to walk and to
bike
1-2 lanes for non-smoke belching buses following a their proper lanes
One express lane

3. 3
One for buses that will stop at bus stops spaced every two kilometers apart
to encourage people to walk and bike. Bikes will be provided by MMDA, for
free)
1 lane for private Vehicle lane (Lane closest to the median/center island)
Note: Government statistics show that less than 1% of the 100 Million
Filipinos own private cars
When:
June 28, Sunday, From 12:00
am until 11:59pm.
Where:
From the Mall of Asia (MOA)
