DOTr, Cebu launch provincial gov’t-led transport service contracting program

The Department of Transportation and the Cebu Provincial Government have introduced the "Tabang Pangbyahe Program," a novel initiative aimed at enhancing public transportation access for Cebuanos and supporting local drivers and operators. This program marks a significant step in decentralizing transportation management, potentially setting a precedent for other provinces. By empowering local government units to lead such initiatives, it not only improves regional transport services but also fosters economic growth and job creation within the sector.
