Road Revolution is a national campaign that urges our government to make concrete solutions on pressing transportation, fuel, traffic, safety and pollution problems in the country. Tomorrow, June 12 and also the Philippine Independence Day, roads from Capitol to Plaza Independecia will be closed for the event.
It aims to transform the mindset, policy, and the resulting infrastructure that encourages individualized transportation systems, i.e., cars and motor vehicles.
This problem could not be solved using the same kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place. We need to shift our transportation mindset from individual transportation systems to favor collective and non-pollutive locomotion systems.
For a start, at least half of the roads must be dedicated for walkways and bike-lanes, and other non-motorized collective transport systems.
Pursuant to Sections 120-127 of the Local Government Code on the power of the sovereign people to launch an initiative for local legislation, the Road Revolution Campaign seeks to gather as many signatures as possible to submit a petition to local government units i.e. cities and municipalities to adopt the necessary ordinance to reform and restructure the entire locomotion system within its jurisdiction.
The Road Revolution Campaign suggests a locomotion system that applies the principle that "those who have less in wheels must have more in roads." It must be safe, convenient, inexpensive, collective, efficient, non-congestive, non-pollutive, and healthful. It must have wide sidewalks for people who prefer to walk, ample bicycle lanes for those who like to bike, and collective man-powered mini-trains. The transportation system must have a preferential bias for non-motorized transport systems that do not use fossil fuels, and maximizes the use of available manpower and uses resources to unleash native Filipino creativity and ingenuity.
