The Department of Transportation or DOTR has gone hand-in-hand with a
Singaporean agency in developing the country's intelligent transport system
or ITS. To officially start the partnership, the department and the agency
have signed a Memorandum of Understanding or MOU.
The DOTR recently signed an MOU with the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise
or SCE for the possible development of the country's ITSto ease the traffic
congestion in Metro Manila.
Under the MOU, SCE agrees to help the Philippines improve its traffic
systems by sharing Singapore's best practices in traffic and transport
management, and introducing their own ITS.
The MOU also states the willingness of both parties to collaborate in terms
of recommending and adopting suitable traffic management policies and use
of ITS.
Indeed, signing a Memorandum of Understanding is just the start of a
fruitful partnership. We are thrilled to witness a more improved and
developed intelligent transport system in the future as the result of the
collaboration.
