Transportation plays an integral role in our daily life. Urban local government units (LGUs) are constantly dealing with traffic congestion, road safety, and air pollution due to rapid increase of traffic volume. Also, transportation is a key element for rural LGUs in ensuring the smooth flow of social and economic activities between rural and urban economies.

With expanding urban areas and growing  traffic between cities and rural economies, LGUs are faced with the difficulty of managing growing demands for efficient transportation.

The World Bank recognizes these challenges and helps LGUs ease traffic congestion, improve the links among various transport modes, enhance the physical environment, and minimize the adverse impacts of transport and urban development on the environment.
