Bill giving clear framework for PUV modernization filed
Under House Bill No. 7428, the chairperson of the House Committee on Metro Manila Development cited the need to provide transitional support in the form of vehicle subsidy, fuel subsidy, concessional loan, and livelihood assistance to all affected transport workers to ensure just and equitable implementation of the PUV modernization program.
The House leader asked all concerned agencies and government instrumentalities, particularly the Department of Transportation , to systematically integrate the concept of “just transition” in various phases of policy formulation, planning, and other tools and techniques in the modernization of the PUV sector.
He explained that his proposed “Just Transition to a Modernized PUV Sector Act” seeks to reduce the GHG emission of the PUV sector, improve safety and comfort of the riding public, and improve working conditions for transport workers through a people-centered and just modernization plan.
