Assignment:

Elaborate a CITY Mobility Profile to the following locations: Calapan, Oriental Mindoro and Naga city, Camarines Sur Province

Instructions/Comments:

Consider the aspects: Policy, Technology and Key players
– Check the availability of local and national mobility plan (Comprehensive urban mobility plan /Sustainable urban mobility plan) and highlight the priority aspects for the respective cities
– Mobility challenges and current actions to address the challenges
– Key players on implementing active mobility, public transport services, EV

Assignment:

Research case studies on the following topics: Active mobility, Public transport services (+ public transport electrification) and Light electric vehicles (particularly for last-mile services)

Instructions/Comments:

Collect and highlight interventions that are transferable to the case in cities in the Philippines

Assignment:

Taking off from Iloilo City’s pitch for a Complete Street Pilot, create a design proposal featuring street renders of actual roads for different road types (national road, local road, barangay road)

Instructions/Comments:

Incorporate the following points and principles in the design:

• Walking and cycling as a priority: wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes. Design interventions for wide and narrow roads where walking and cycling can be made more convenient and comfortable, while limiting speed for cars
• Improvement of transit stops for better accessibility to key establishments (Transit stop design suitable for the tropics and Proposed locations of major transit stops)
• Integration of bike parking, wayfinding, and end-of-trip facilities that the city government and private establishments can adopt
• Improvement of tree cover for urban heat island effect mitigation
• Introduction of road diet interventions to discourage speeding
• Shared street designs where open/car-free streets are feasible and where street furniture can be integrated

Assignment:

Conceptualize a social marketing plan focusing on the following:

• Modal shift to walking and cycling
• Promotion of Open (car-free) Streets in barangays

Instructions/Comments:

Outline campaign goals, target audience, key messages, and a step-by-step guide to execution which could be handed off to the project staff or local partners to implement. This can come in the form of a toolkit (for Open Streets) or an inception plan for an advocacy campaign promoting sustainable transport that can be scaled and further developed by the project team

Objective: Select specific road sites in Iloilo City and develop the preliminary concept for your “Complete Streets” redesigns.

Tasks:

1. Site Selection & Analysis: Using mapping tools (e.g., Google Earth, OpenStreetMap), select one real road segment in Iloilo City for each of the following types:

   • A National Road (e.g., a major artery like Benigno Aquino Ave.)

   • A Local/City Road (e.g., a downtown street like JM Basa St.)

   • A Barangay Road (e.g., a narrow residential street)

2. Baseline Analysis: For each site, document the current conditions: number of lanes, sidewalk presence/quality, existing tree cover, speed of traffic, proximity to key establishments (schools, markets, gov’t offices).

3. Conceptual Design Sketches: Create initial conceptual sketches or digital diagrams for each road type, showing how you will apply the required principles.

Deliverables for Option A (Submit one PDF by end of Week 9):

• Site Selection Justification: A brief explanation for why you chose each specific road segment.

• Baseline Analysis Report: A short profile for each site, including a map screenshot and a bulleted list of existing conditions and challenges.

• Conceptual Design Diagrams: Simple but clear sketches (can be digital or hand-drawn and scanned) for each of the three road types, illustrating your initial ideas for lane reconfiguration, bike lane placement, and sidewalk improvement.

Objective: Define the strategic foundation for your campaign, focusing on either a Modal Shift or Open Streets initiative.

Tasks:

1. Campaign Foundation:

   • Choose Your Focus: Decide definitively on either “Modal Shift to Walking/Cycling” or “Promotion of Car-Free Streets.”

   • Set SMART Goals: Define 2-3 Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals (e.g., “Increase bicycle counts on XYZ street by 15% within 6 months of campaign launch”).

   • Identify Target Audience: Define a primary and secondary audience (e.g., “Primary: Students aged 16-24; Secondary: Local business owners near the proposed open street”).

2. Message Development: Craft 3-4 core key messages that will resonate with your target audience. These should be clear, compelling, and action-oriented.

3. Stakeholder Mapping: Identify the key partners needed to make this campaign a reality (e.g., Barangay Council, local cycling clubs, school principals, police).

Deliverables for Option B (Submit one PDF by end of Week 9):

• Campaign Inception Plan (3 pages max):

  1. Campaign Charter: Clearly state the campaign name, focus, and SMART goals.

  2. Audience Personas: Create a brief profile for your primary and secondary audiences, detailing their motivations and potential barriers to accepting your message.

  3. Key Messages & Slogans: List your core messages and propose 1-2 catchy campaign slogans.

  4. Stakeholder List & Roles: A table listing key partners and their proposed role in the campaign.
