Abstract :
Part of the City’s holistic development is transportation modernization and its infrastructure
support. Progressis good, but unmanaged resources, unavailability of fund released which may
affect the proposed master plan and slack implementation of the law can lead to urban sprawl
and traffic congestion. The study was conducted to determine the transportation and
infrastructure challenges in Davao City and how Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contributes
towards attaining sustainability. A total of 60 participants including commuters, drivers, and car
owners, were served as key respondents. A descriptive evaluative research design was utilized in
the study wherein the data is collected using open-ended interviews, secondary data, and
observations.The study found that Davao City’s main issues and problems in infrastructure and
transportation are the results of inadequate investment in road development and maintenance and
poor management. Thus, researchers suggested reforms, recommendations and building up of
PPP programs in order to make public transport provision in Davao City more effective and
efficient.
