An Act Creating The Special Mass Transit System Support Fund Amending For The Purpose Section 7 Of Republic Act No. 8794, As Amended

• This measure seeks to amend the MVUC Act by realigning funds from the MVUC for the construction, improvement and rehabilitation of our mass transit system. While total elimination of traffic congestion would be challenging, persistent efforts to improve the country’s mass transport systems would certainly be a factor in easing traffic and translate into benefits such as increase in productivity, cleaner environment and a healthier population.
• The approval of this bill will address the need to provide efficient and effective mass transit system in our country. 
• Expansion and improvement of mass transit has been proven to be cost-effective in developed countries since it addresses concerns on traffic and parking congestion, travel time, costs of road network, road safety, health and environment, excessive energy consumption and limited mobility for non-drivers.
