DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGIES FOR SALEM CITYIAEME Publication
Urban planning as majorly practiced in India is mainly concerned with the development of land in cities. Urban traffic congestion being a major problem in large cities which has a negative impact on mobility, environment, local economy and quality of life. The aim of this thesis is to develop an efficient transport with good and better facility for the Salem city. The roads and public transportation areas should be developed and maintained clean. Salem was a municipal town till 2007 and is developed to city in 2008 with heavy area expansion to more than ten times. A detail including all the elements like sustainable urban transport strategies for Salem city is not carried out in the past. To achieve this, development of Salem should meet all the three strategies i.e. social, economic and environmental sustainability goals. Hence sustainable development for Salem city is necessary.
This document summarizes research being conducted on the Metro project in Quito, Ecuador from a rights-based governance perspective. It provides background on mobility issues and transport disadvantage. Initial findings indicate that transport-related social exclusion exists in Quito. The decision-making process around the Metro project occurred rapidly after feasibility studies with limited citizen participation. Local residents and businesses reported not being adequately consulted during planning. While Ecuador has constitutional rights around participation, civil society organizations argue the city government has not developed capacity for meaningful citizen engagement on transport issues.
The document discusses India's urban transportation crisis. As India's urban population grows at 3% annually and is expected to reach 500 million by 2021, cities face increasing transportation challenges including worse congestion than cities in developed countries despite lower vehicle ownership. Private vehicle ownership is growing faster than transportation infrastructure investments. Most Indian cities have negligible bus systems compared to personalized vehicles. Inadequate public transportation infrastructure and imbalanced transportation models are exacerbated by increasing traffic injuries, accidents, and fatalities. Solutions proposed include promoting compact urban development, improving public-private partnerships and transportation coordination between levels of government.

This document summarizes a research paper about clustering and imitation in innovation strategy in emerging markets. It discusses how in emerging markets with institutional voids, firms face uncertainty in making innovation strategies. The paper proposes that in this context, imitation can be an alternative learning mechanism. Specifically, it hypothesizes that in industrial clusters in emerging markets, entrant firms will imitate the innovation strategies of incumbent firms. It also hypothesizes that characteristics of the industrial cluster like density and variability will moderate the imitation effect by influencing information conditions. The paper aims to test these relationships by examining firms' R&D investment strategies in Beijing's Zhongguancun Science Park from 2001-2003.

This document summarizes recent trends in research and development (R&D)-intensive foreign direct investment (FDI) and discusses policy implications for developing countries. It finds that while global R&D networks are becoming more multi-polar with some developing countries becoming destinations and sources of R&D FDI, this is largely driven by China and India. Growth of R&D FDI may be slowing due to mature corporate networks and economic crises. Developing effective policies can help countries attract and benefit from R&D FDI by building absorptive capacity. Both direct effects like new R&D jobs and indirect effects like knowledge spillovers must be considered.

This document summarizes a study on collaboration networks and innovation performance among Argentinean biotech firms. The study finds that Argentinean biotech firms actively collaborate with partners, especially local public research organizations and foreign partners in leading regions, to source knowledge and enhance their technological capabilities. Collaborations with both local PROs and foreign partners are shown to benefit firms' innovation performance. While the knowledge network structure differs from leading biotech regions, it is similar to other non-leading regions, relying heavily on collaborations with local PROs and partners abroad. The study contributes new evidence on how high-tech industries develop in emerging countries through both local and non-local knowledge flows.

5. NMT Forum and Mapping Workshop
21 April 2012 | ISO Conference Room 3 | ADMU
Executive Summary
Dubbed as the NMT (Non-Motorized Transport) Forum and Mapping Workshop, the third mapping
exercise was conducted by the Inclusive Mobility Project: Catalyzing New Mobility in Cities: The Case of
Metro Manila with Firefly Brigrade, Cycling Advocates and Bike for the Philippines as well as with
OpenStreet Map. on April 21, 2012 at the Conference Room 3, Institute of Social Order (ISO), Social
Development Complex (SDC), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU). The Project is being
implemented by the Innovations at the Base of Pyramid (iBoP) Asia Program of the Ateneo School of
Government (ASoG), with support from the Rockefeller Foundation.
The forum provided a venue for sharing information on what the different cycling advocates were
doing to advance the cause and the current initiatives some of the LGUs in Metro Manila were doing.
The mapping exercise aimed to (a) reveal and assess existing and potential NMT features and
facilities; (b) provide stakeholders an opportunity to work together in advancing the implementation
of sustainable, connected, inclusive transport system and sharing mobility-related information and
policy initiatives; and (c) learn to use available free and open source web platforms to build on the
shareable knowledge base of inclusive mobility-enhancing features of the transport system.
A total of 52 participants attended the event, the majority of which came from the NMT sector.
Specifically, there were 15 participants from the NMT / MT sector, 12 from local government units
(LGUs) and a national government agency, eight from the academe, six from the media, four from an
editable online mapping project, another four from the private sector, and three from a clean air
project.
The workshop process concluded a mapping of bicycle hubs (i.e. retail and repair shops and meeting
areas of cyclists) in Metro Manila. The groups presented considerably useful information through the
data indentified in the maps. Many of the participants are long-time cyclists and therefore were able
to provide information especially during the discussion of the workshop tasks. Additionally, some also
provided tips and trivia on cycling like the place to get cheap but sturdy bicycles, the ideal time for
biking, the possible livelihood strategies relating to bicycles, and the initiatives being done by
government and non-government groups to promote NMT. The Marikina City and Pasig City were
excellent examples of LGUs which transcend NMT ideas into actual implementation.
The NMT forum and mapping workshop proved to be helpful in pinpointing basic data on NMT in
Metro Manila from among the participants as it was also useful in disseminating parallel initiatives
being done by the organizers. It is hoped that further activities will be held to tackle and share more
insights from the participants and be directed for action by concerned groups and agencies.
A post-workshop evaluation from the participants validated that the event was helpful in providing
new insights. The forum-workshop was also deemed very useful particularly because the information
shared concerned the participants themselves. A few listing of learnings showed that NMT activities
such as cycling can be fun and healthy, and can also be made into an innovative and sustainable way of
addressing poverty issues in a community. Furthermore, the participants pointed out that working
together for the NMT advocacy can be more intensified if the LGUs and policy-makers will be
enjoined. The NMT Forum and Workshop, despite the limited time, provided a venue for interaction
and possible working together in the future by the different stakeholders committed to advocating
NMT.

I.0 Opening Session
The program was formally started through the singing of the National Anthem. Dr. Segundo Romero,
Director of the iBoP Asia Program, (through an audio-visual presentation) delivered the Opening
Remarks. He emphasized a list of ideas that define the concept of inclusive mobility, the term derived
from the full project name - Catalyzing New Mobility in Cities: The Case of Metro Manila. The
following are the ideas presented by Dr. Romero on inclusive mobility: (See powerpoint presentation in
Annex 4)
A transport system that works for the poor and vulnerable;
A walkable, bika-able, accessible city;
Moving people, not vehicles;
Mobility must come with safety and civility;
Clean air, clean streets, clean vehicles, clean facilities;
Planning and communicating better and traveling less;
Sharing information to increase connectivity and accessibility;
Making neighborhoods more accessible to the rest of the city;
Changing mindsets and behaviors: the authorities’ as well as ours; and
Mobility of all, by all, for all.
Ms. Dinna Dayao, Communications Consultant to the Project and the event’s master of ceremonies,
facilitated a mini-game by asking NMT-related questions to

2.0 Presentations from Different Non-Motorized Transport
Advocacy Groups
Bikes for the Philippines
Mr. Joel Uichico introduced their initiative in the Bikes
for the Philippines to be the first in Asia and in the
Philippines as a bike-giving program, in partnership with
the Department of Education (DepEd), Synergia, and the
Bikes for the World (U.S.-based) (See Annex 5 for
presentation). Their program aims to help augment
poverty through giving bicycles and enabling school
children to attend classes by means of cycling to their
schools.
Mr. Uichico explained that while there are usually quite a
number of grade schools in an area, there is, more often
than not, only one high school in that same area. The
solution presented by the Bikes for the Philippines is to
choose beneficiaries - children from among the poorest
of the poor families in the municipality of Baclayon in
Bohol. They identified several factors to deduce the
beneficiaries of their program. Among these factors are:
The distance from residence to the school is at a
minimum of three kilometers;
Mr. Uichico presents their program in
There is no means of public transportation; Bikes for the Philippines
Family income is below the income threshold
which is monitored through the Poverty Data
Monitoring System (PDMS);
Students at risk of dropping out (SARDO) collected from the schools; and
Must be a resident in the town (Baclayon).
The impact of the program to the recipients of the bikes will be monitored through their school
performance, livelihood impact, and their use of bikes – which is strictly for home-school-home use
until they graduate. This is per guidelines crafted by the Bikes for the Philippines.
The organization observed that the program was beneficial especially to the children since:
It increased the children’s self-esteem;
It became a form of exercise/health activity;
It became a tool for sports development (i.e. uphill or downhill cycling);
It also helps the environment through cleaner air having no-emission and no-pollution It
gives the students more time to do other things/work/chores;
It lessens the travel expenses; and
It became a venue for values formation for the children.
Mr. Uichico cited three profiles of children-beneficiaries in Baclayon as examples:

Monitoring System (PDMS),
which was developed through
a support given by the
Mr. Pestelos shows how the Poverty Database Monitoring European Union. The
System (PDMS) works software have been used in
several areas and provinces,
e.g. Sariaya and Lucban, Quezon; La Union; and provinces in the Autonomous Region of Muslim
Mindanao (ARMM).
The main functions of utilizing PDMS are to rank the poor; identify the poorest of the poor; and be
able to see what has happened to them after support has been given. The software generally provides
information related to poverty incidence by summarizing the occurrence of different poverty
indicators in a selected area. The poverty indicators can range from child malnutrition, child
mortality, crime, disability, illiteracy rate, and access to health insurance or housing. On the basis of
these poverty indicators, the group is able to target the poorest of the poor. Dr. Pestelos explained
that the software can run municipal, barangay or purok level in identifying target families. The
software also helps in finding out what other important problems could be remedied through the
help of the local government units.
Several questions were raised during the presentation:

there are issues that arise. One of them is the learning. But we’re not closing the doors to
increase in the amount of fare in going to work anyone.
because of dislocation. Another problem is the
separation to the family: usually, the worker has
to stay in the city for the whole week and only
go home on weekends. We came up with a
Transport Cooperative in line with DOTC to
lower the fare. But maybe through the bikes, the
workers will be able to save the PhP 2,500 spent
on fare or rent and be able to spend it to other
expenses at home. They will also be able to go
home more frequently. Indicators to poverty are
very much present in Manila as well. We laud
what you are doing; I hope it could be replicated
here in Metro Manila.

already an existing data?
Ms. Dayao: Mr. Pestelos:
How do we get hold of the software? The software is under copyright but you can
write to our foundation to discuss about it.
Ms. Dayao summarized the presentation from Bikes for the Philippines as follows:
They were able to find partners here and abroad;
They were able to mobilize resources;
They were able to define the beneficiaries and why they should be the ones to be given the
bikes;
They have data which can be validated.
Firefly Brigade
Ms. Mia Bunao gave a brief introduction about the projects and partnerships being made by the
Firefly Brigade. She said that it started in 1999 whereas the movement was initially to support the
Clean Air Act (See Annex 6 for presentation).
She then said that the bicycle is the most efficient form of transportation since it does not emit air
and noise pollution, and could occupy less space than that of a car’s. The Firefly Brigade began
institutionalizing and partnering with different LGUs and NGOs to create a multiplier effect for the
advocacy to gain support from more people.

Their projects include critical mass
rides which aim to create more visibility
on the road so that people will be able
to acknowledge that cyclists are also
part of the road, and therefore, people
would be able to “share the road.” The
critical mass ride is considered unique
in the Philippines because it is an
organized event, with permission from
the LGU concerned, and because it
looks more like a festivity. The critical
mass rides are done every third Sundays
of the month, the biggest of which –
coined Tour of the Fireflies – will be
Ms. Bunao presents the NMT projects of Firefly done this September 2012.
Brigade
Another project of the Firefly Brigade is
the bicycle farm which involves
representatives from malls and bike organizations to map and establish bicycle parking compliance in
certain establishments. Moreover, they were able to create spaces for bicycle racks in city halls. This
way, the LGUs will be encouraged to institutionalize cycle-inclusive plans. So far, they have put up
bicycle racks at the Quezon City Hall, Pasig City Hall, Taguig and two other areas. The FB envisions
that it would be a step-by-step process such that the LGUs will pass an ordinance about it; create
bike lanes; organize an institutionalized critical mass ride; or put up car-less days. So far, Marikina
City has been the model city for this but Pasig City has also been in compliance for the last three
year and has initiatives on this.
Further, they also want to access promotion for bimodal transportation. They successfully initiated
the Green Zone – a section of the train where one can bring in his/her bike - in LRT 2 through the
help of DOTC-LRTA. LRT 1 also has the same accessibility although there is yet a signage to be
made.
The Firefly Brigade also had a simple bicycle count in three main thoroughfares in Metro Manila
namely: Aurora Blvd., Philcoa, and Monumento. The bicycle count aimed to get information as to
how many people use bikes in said areas. With 30 minutes intervals (from morning to afternoon),
they were able to record an average of 7 to 8 bikes in
Monumento on a weekend.
Finally, Ms. Bunao reiterated their advocacy for sustainable
transportation strategies through institutionalizing car-free
days, bike paths, bike racks, bimodal transport access, and
laws on bicycles that will highlight cycle-inclusive planning,
inclusion of biking in school curriculum (e.g. Physical
Education). She ended her presentation by validating that
the bicycle is the simplest form of transportation and the
most effective means to influence other people is by way
of example.
Cycling Advocates (CYCAD)
A brief note about the Cycling
Mr. Jun Salaveria introduced CYCAD and noted that it Advocates (CYCAD) was presented
started in 1995 not as an advocacy group but for long by Mr. Salaveria
distance cycling meet-ups. Later on, they decided to
6
11. NMT Forum and Mapping Workshop
21 April 2012 | ISO Conference Room 3 | ADMU
organize annual rides from Quezon City to any point in Luzon within a distance of 100 kilometers. In
2010, CYCAD formalized the “Araw ng Siklista” as an event to give due to cyclists. They are
currently in partnership with other groups such as the Firefly Brigade and BagCyc in crafting a
petition for reforms in the road system (e.g. bike lanes).
Marikina City Bikeways Program
Ms. Carlota Contreras of the Marikina Bikeways Office
presented Marikina as the first city in the Philippines to have
bike lanes. The initiative is being supported by
legislation/ordinance and is funded by GEF. Ms. Contreras
said that they would like to expand the bike lanes along
Marikina River to Pasig City and Libis, especially that DPWH
is also implementing the Marikina River Channel
Improvement Project.
She then invited the participants to join in their Cambio del
Independencia on June 10, 2012 in commemoration of the
country’s independence day.
Ms. Contreras reiterated that there are currently four
senate bills for bike lanes in position. She urged everyone to Ms. Contreras introduces the
collectively work for this advocacy. initiatives of the Marikina City LGU
on Bikeways
Padyak ng Pasig
Ms. Raquel Nacionagyo of the Pasig City Environment and Natural Resources Office explained that
Pasig City has always been inspired by the experiences of Marikina City and Firefly Brigade, among
others. She then introduced their program, Padyak ng Pasig. She noted that that is is not only for
recreational means but also to help alleviate poverty.
They have a “Bike to Work” Loan Program wherein anyone who resides within two kilometers away
from the Pasig City Hall can avail a “padyak” loan. The person who applied for loan will pay PhP
270.00 every 15th and 30th of the month. So far, they have 250 beneficiaries for this program.
Similarly, they also initiated the “Bike to Earn”
Loan program where the poorest of the poor in
Nagpayong Centennial can avail of the loan.
They will pay PhP 40.00 a day within 2 ½ years
for the loan.
Pasig CENRO has also started implementing the
Green Heart Padyak where eco-boys can
collect recyclables from households using

Ms. Naciongayo also announced the event that
they will launch June 3, 2012. There will be a car-less day (every Sunday) in F. Ortigas Jr. Avenue
(formerly Emerald Road). It will be closed from 6:00 AM to 12:00 NN. There will be activities and

booths on cycling, health, and food. There will be a critical mass ride in the area. An eco-strip will
also be made available in the area wherein selling of recyclables and e-wastes can be made. Banchetto
will also be revived, as well as several “laro ng kalikasan” (e.g. patintero, siato) to maximize use of the
road.
After the presentations, everyone was enjoined to have a short merienda before proceeding to the
mapping workshop.
3.0 Inclusive Mobility Mapping Workshop Overview Mr. Lorenzo
Cordova, Jr., Research Associate of the Catalyzing New Mobility in Cities Project, facilitated the
mapping workshop. Thes session started with the introduction of online platforms that can be used
for mapping and reporting issues: OpenStreetMap and SeeClickFix. The former was presented by Mr
Eugene Villar (OSM Philippines) and the latter by Dr. Romero.
OpenStreetMap Philippines
Mr. Eugene Villar, President of OpenStreetMap
(OSM) Philippines, explained the use of the free
and open source platform for mapping.
OpenStreetMap is a project to map the world
which started in the United Kingdom in 2004.
The following describes the OSM:
It is voluntary since it it seeks
volunteers to collaborate on the
project;
It is open and free;
It is both international and local;
It can be done online and offline; Mr. Villar explains about OpenStreetMap
It needs geo-data (coordinates and Philippines
shapes of buildings and roads).
The opencyclemap, a specialist map, highlights cycle-related features (e.g. for Marikina bike lanes). A
transport map, which is useful to planners, shows data on bus routes, bus stations, etc. The website
www.maposmatic.org can help generate a .pdf file of a specific area.
Mr. Villar showed an example of an edited map of Quezon City; CBMS data of buildings, churches,
schools, and establishments were presented.
Questions Answers
Ms. Tango: Mr. Villar:
Is it possible to get distance from one point to Yes, by using any mapping software. All geo-
another using OSM? related data, through the use of GIS applications,
can be obtained.
There are many softwares that can produce GPS
maps.
Mr. Salaveria: Mr. Villar:
Is there someone in OSM who bikes? Yes, Manny does.
His presentation is attached as Annex 7.

21 April 2012 | ISO Conference Room 3 | ADMU
SeeClickFix
Another crowd-sourcing method of reporting transport issues in communities that was introduced
was the SeeClickFix (See Annex 8 for presentation). Dr. Romero explained the process of using the
open-source reporting technology through logging in the website www.seeclickfix.com. The following
are the steps to login and report community or transport-related issues or problems:
In order to present transport issues, there is a need for an internet connection to access
www.seeclickfix.com.
One may sign up, fill in information (like display name, email address, preferred password) to
sign up and get login information.
Confirm sign up by checking email and clicking on the link sent by seeclickfix.
Login to www.seeclickfix.com using the login information.
Click on “Metro Manila” as location, and then click on “Metro Manila New Mobility Now
Network” as watch area.
Click “report an issue” and follow the reporting instructions given in the website.
Give the issue a title; describe the issue by stating why it needs to be resolved and who are
the concerned authority / community.
Check if the issue was properly reported.
Once the number of issues reported has reached a hundred, the NewMoNow Network will
meet at ASoG to discuss and finally bring the issues to concerned authorities or
communities.
Ms. Dayao reiterated that the two open-source softwares can be used according to the need of the
people. While OSM is helpful in providing information on certain locations, SCF can help in reporting
transport issues which can be collectively escalated to the concerned agencies or communities.
During the workshop orientation, Mr. Cordova stated the main objectives of the workshop, the
materials and resources needed, and the workshop process to be followed (See Annex 3 for the
Mapping Workshop Guidelines).
Groupings were then made where each group had members composed of representatives from
different organizations. This was facilitated through counting off from one to four, and then all those
who counted one were grouped together, and same process followed with those who counted two,
three, and four. Each group assigned their own facilitator, note-taker, and reporter.
The participants were then grouped into the following:
Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4
Cardenas, Dexter Antonio, Ricci Abuton, Ernst Buhay, Telly
Chua, Lydia Gaw, Carol Asuncion, Boy Diaz, Thor
Contreras, Carlota Villar, Eugene Bunao, Mia Flores, Benchie

Mr. Cordova said that since there was limited time to discuss the other workshop tasks, a future
forum will be organized by the ASoG to further get insights from the NMT sector.
5.0 Synthesis, Next Steps, and Closing Program
Dr. Marie Danielle Guillen, Manager of Inclusive Mobility Project, first thanked everyone who
attended the workshop despite being scheduled on a weekend. She said that it was interesting to
know that there are so many groups from the NMT sector working on the same advocacy. She also
said it was the first time that these groups were gathered together and involved OSM in the activity.
Dr. Guillen acknowledged that there is a national policy which has been started. The DOTC already
has a policy to transform the transport sector such that it should follow that those who have less in
wheels must have more in roads. She said that there is no new strategy being introduced; the issue is
to strengthen the implementation side, especially by the line agencies (e.g. DOTC and DPWH).
15
20. NMT Forum and Mapping Workshop
21 April 2012 | ISO Conference Room 3 | ADMU
Rationalizing the NMT for public means will have to trickle down to the LGUs. There are also
pending bills in the Senate (e.g. SB 2924: Bicycle Law by Senator Marcos; SB 2396: Sustainable
Transportation Act of 2011; SB 2688: Bicycle Law by Senator Villar).
She highlighted that the current advocacy on NMT in
Dr. Guillen states the synthesis and the Philippines is comparable to other countries’
closes the program initiatives (i.e. Mexico, Brazil). It is important to
advocate to the public officials to walk the talk. She
said there’s an optimism that could be harnessed from
the groups who attended the workshop.
In terms of local policies, the last policy on pedicabs
being used in secondary roads could be dated from 10
years ago. It is with the use of bicycles (e.g. Marikina,
Pasig City, Quezon City) that is quite new.
Dr. Guillen shared the other initiatives being done by
the Inclusive Mobility Project: research study on the
mobility cost of urban poor and vulnerable groups in
Quezon City; mapping of transport systems; validation
of data gathered; research on the business models and
management in the transport sector; advocacy on
NMT, intermodal and multimodal transport systems; and profile-raising.
Additionally, Dr. Guillen noted that the ASoG’s partnership with MMDA, OSM, and other groups
could greatly help in a more strengthened implementation of initiatives towards inclusive mobility.
She thanked the participants again for attending the event and advocating the cause.
Afterwards, an awarding of certificates and a group photo session transpired.

WORKSHOP GUIDE
I. Introduction
WELCOME to the Non-motorized transport (NMT) Mapping Workshop, a half-day event
that gives participants the opportunity to collaboratively improve transportation system in
Metro Manila.
We do this specifically today to uncover and to record information about the location and
interconnectivity of facilities and features specifically for NMT in Metro Manila.
We are taking an approach co-developed with SMART Centre of University of Michigan and
OpenStreetMap Philippines. The approach is intended to promote public awareness of the
use of bicycles and uncover opportunities to build partnerships and to pursue local
initiatives.
The NMT Mapping shows a process that can be replicated in other areas by other
stakeholders. The web platforms also provide opportunities for citizens to build community
data-based and maps that can be a basis for policy decisions. The mapping process both
provides a tool for users for the short-term, and a tool for identifying future enhancements
for the long term.
Today’s Inclusive Mobility mapping will introduce two crowdsourcing platforms and
methods:
1) OpenStreetMap – method for this workshop to map some of the NMT features
and facilities was co-developed with OpenStreetMap Philippines.
2) SeeClickFix – a web-based tool that allows citizens to share data and receive
reports on non-emergency neighbourhood issues. The results will be compiled and
communicated to local government units and government line agencies.
Objectives of the Exercise
1. Reveal and assess existing and potential NMT features and facilities;
2. Provide stakeholders an opportunity to work together in advancing the
implementation of sustainable, connected, inclusive transport system and sharing
mobility-related information and policy initiatives; and
3. Learn to use available free and open source web platforms to build on the shareable
knowledge base of inclusive mobility-enhancing features of the transport system.

III. WORKSHOP PROCESS
1. Find Your Group (as you Find Inclusive Mobility)
You will be in one of workshop groups. Look at the colour of your name tag dot. It tells
whether you represent a government, an NGO, a big business, a small venture, a media,
or academe. Please make sure that in your group every colour is represented. Please
choose a group in which you know the least number of people. Each group will have an
assigned segment of Metro Manila.
2. Organize Your Group
* First, please identify a rapporteur to take notes.
* Next, please identify a volunteer to report back to the larger group.
* Next, please identify a group chair or facilitator to organize and steer the work of the
group according to the steps below.
Note: List down the members of each group and assign number codes to easily track his/ her
inputs (e.g. Juan 1-10; Jose 11-20; Maria 21-30).
3. Perform Workshop Tasks
This is a mapping information exercise. The workshop tasks are as follows:
Workshop Task 1 – Snap Bike Map of Metro Manila
Using the focus map as your guide, locate and identify as many of the following (15
minutes):
Bicycle retail shops (use blue sticker dots)
Bicycle repair shops (use pink sticker dots)
Areas where cyclists meet and how often (use green sticker dots)
Cycling events
29. Note: Be specific to the location as possible. You can use the metacards or papers distributed to
the group for taking note of the participants’ inputs.
There will be assigned personnel from OpenStreetMap Philippines and Ateneo School of
Government to get the information from the participants for encoding to
OpenStreetMap.
Workshop Task 2 – NMT Information, Idea, and Insight Marketplace
List down at least 1 question that you want to know about bikes, biking and bikers (10
minutes)
Based on the questions listed, provide at least one answer for each category (bikes,
biking and bikers). (10 minutes)
Note: One question and one answer per metacard. The inputs will be posted on the board.
Workshop Task 3 – Exploring Inclusive Mobility Standards (10 min.)
With your experiences and local knowledge, list down the standards that you think
should be to make NMT facilities (e.g. pedestrian overpasses, pedestrian crossings,
sidewalks, cycling lanes) more inclusive based on:
i. Accessibility
ii. Walkability
iii. Bikeability
iv. Crossability
IV. WORKSHOP OUTPUT PRESENTATION
1. Presentation of Snap Bike Map using OpenStreetMap.
2. Presentation of workshop generated issues in SeeClickFix.
V. NEXT STEPS
1. Individual and group contribution to SeeClickFix (100 reports per organization)
2. 20 new reporters per organization
3. Mapping Training Workshop

What Exactly
is Inclusive Mobility?
Segundo E Romero, PhD, Director
Innovations at the Base of the Pyramid
in Southeast Asia (iBoP Asia) Program

32. 4/23/2012
Inclusive Mobility …
… is the short name for the Project entitled
“Catalyzing New Mobility in Cities: The Case
of Metro Manila” implemented by the
Innovation at the Base of the Pyramid in
Southeast Asia (iBoP-Asia) Program at the
Ateneo School of Government.
The Project is supported by the Rockefeller
Foundation for one year, 2011-2012
WHAT IS INCLUSIVE MOBILITY?
Inclusive Mobility is ...
2
33. 4/23/2012
1. A transport system that works
for the poor and vulnerable.
The test for inclusive mobility is not that the average
person is mobile, but that even the poor and vulnerable
are. If we beam only for the average person, we
exclude half of the population!
2. A walkable, bike-able,
accessible city.
To move the city, every person should be able to carry
himself, if not all the way, then part of the way. Everyone who
can, must walk, or bike, commute, and only as a last resort,
take the car.
3
34. 4/23/2012
3. Moving people, not vehicles.
Those who have less in wheels, must have more in roads.
Efficient and effective public transport must be the
backbone of the transport system.
4. Mobility with safety and civility.
Mobility in a highly urbanized and complex city must not
sacrifice safety and civility.The dignity and security of
human life must be upheld.
4
35. 4/23/2012
5. Clean
air, clean
streets,
clean
vehicles,
clean
facilities.
The sustainability of the transport system must be
assured, and this must be evident on the ground, not only
in statistics.
6. Planning and communicating
better and traveling less.
Mobility is accomplishing travel purposes at least travel, cost,
and time. Habitual planning and communicating, individually
and collectively, help reduce travel.
5
36. 4/23/2012
7. Sharing information to increase
connectivity and accessibility.
Navigating through the city requires choosing between
alternative paths, modes, and combinations. The more we know
the feasible alternatives, the more efficient we travel.
8. Making our neighborhoods more
accessible to the rest of the city.
We cannot expect the whole city to be hospitable to
our travel intentions, if we keep the city out of our
own neighborhoods.
6
37. 4/23/2012
9. Changing
mindsets and
behaviors – the
authorities’ as well
as ours.
Inclusive mobility is a set
of conditions shaped by
human intentions and
behaviors – more of ours,
and less of the authorities.
10. Mobility of all, by all, for all.
We cannot inflict inclusive mobility on the poor and the
vulnerable.They must actively and meaningfully
participate and own their share of inclusive mobility
schemes and initiatives, commensurate to their collective
footprint on the streets.
