Abstract

The current income of the residents of Southville 7 in Calauan, Laguna is not sufficient to support their everyday expenses and one of the main reasons why they could not save is that they are spending too much on transportation costs. Therefore, it is imperative for the researchers to propose a new transportation plan that will cater to the needs of the working class. The researchers based their proposed plan in one of the four-steps in transportation planning, which is trip generation. Various methods such as basic analysis of survey results, floating car technique, and linear and multi-regression modelling were performed. The researchers were able to garner data such as the population in each site, skillsets, monthly income, preferred mode of transportation and corresponding cost, and several other factors. The results of the proposed transit made a significant difference in the transportation expenses in which the working class would be able to save more than half of what they normally spend in their usual travel expenses through the group’s proposed shuttle service.
