The government is betting on big-ticket transport infrastructure projects to revitalize the domestic economy and create more jobs.
“The department will speed up the momentum in completing more transport infrastructure projects aimed at moving people, products and services and trigger economic growth,” Bautista said. A total of P176.4 billion will be directed towards the DOTr’s public sector infrastructure budget, fostering high-impact transport projects approved by the NEDA board, including the North-South Commuter Railway System and the Metro Manila Subway Project Phase I under the Rail Transport Program; the Land Public Transportation Program; and the Aviation and Maritime Infrastructure Programs of the DOTr.Bautisa said railway development is a priority of the agency.
Bautista said the agency also received an unsolicited proposal to build MRT 11, which would connect Caloocan City and Quezon City to San Jose de Monte City. The project would involve the construction of elevated structure from EDSA in Balintawak, Quezon City traversing Quirino Highway, Novaliches and Zabarte Road in North Caloocan City up to Barangay Gaya-gaya in San Jose del Monte.
