The Special Local Road Fund (SLRF) is situated in the Department of the Interior and Local Government's (DILG) overall outcome framework. All provincial and city governments can avail of the SLRF. The fund is apportioned to 80 provinces and 138 cities using a formula that considers performance index (30%), vehicle population index (20%), and road length index (50%). Eligible projects include road maintenance, drainage improvement, safety devices, and traffic management. Local government units submit project proposals that are reviewed by DILG and approved by the Road Board. Upon approval, the Department of Budget and Management issues funds. Concerns include delayed fund releases and slow project implementation by LGUs.
