Executive Summary In most developing cities, magnitude volume of the traffic requires suitable legislative enactment where different modes of transportation traverses within the City. In the case of Butuan, different local public transport in the form of jeepneys, multicabs and taxis, tricycles as well as “motorized trisikad” exists. This paper looks into the Traffic and Transportation Code as a policy instrument of the local government unit in the conduct of traffic management. It assumes that good transportation system propels the development of the city, thus the need of the development of local public transport policy. While Philippine tricycle is classified as a motor vehicle composed of motorcycle fitted with a single wheel sidecar or with a two-wheel cab, operated as a public transport for a fee, Butuan City has a wide variation of unique motorcycle innovations. And while the presence of these various modes of transportation provides a wide array of choices for commuters, the study would shows that with lack of a comprehensive implementation of traffic and transportation policies, local transportation would be comparable to utter disorder.
