π—Ÿπ—’π—’π—ž | The Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO) and representatives from selected Local Government Units (LGUs) across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) participated in a Capacity Building workshop on the Formulation of the Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP). Held on August 24–28, 2026, at Aria Hotel & Residences in Davao City, the event was organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG) in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications – Bangsamoro Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (MOTC-BLTFRB) BARMM.

The five-day activity aimed to strengthen the technical and institutional capacity of LGUs to formulate responsive, data-driven, and context-appropriate LPTRPs. Through lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on workshops, group presentations, and technical coaching, participants learned to analyze current conditions, identify mobility gaps, and establish route evaluation frameworks tailored to their local contexts. The training underscored the necessity of accurate transport data, inter-office coordination, stakeholder participation, and field validation in building sound transportation strategies.

Overall, this capacity-building initiative marks a significant step forward for transportation planning in BARMM. While the workshop provided a solid foundation, participating LGUs will now move forward with data collection, field surveys, public consultations, and draft preparation. By equipping local officials with essential skills and fostering collaboration among LGUs, MILG, and MOTC-BLTFRB BARMM, the region builds a strong foundation toward a more organized, accessible, safe, efficient, reliable, and sustainable public transportation system.
