PUV Modernization

The Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) aims to update and modernize the Philippines' public transport system by replacing traditional jeepneys with more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon is optimistic about passing legislation that would provide tax incentives and subsidies for the program, addressing concerns over high costs and financial strain on operators. Despite some protests from transport groups like PISTON, the DOTr continues to collaborate with local governments to implement sustainable transportation solutions.
