Join the huddle: How would commuters reimagine EDSA?

MANILA, Philippines – How will commuters, urban planners, and mobility advocates reimagine EDSA? 

This is one of the questions that the Huddle, an action-oriented gathering among advocates, intends to answer.

MovePH, Rappler’s civic engagement arm, in partnersip with Right of Way and AltMobility will be hosting “Huddle: How would commuters reimagine EDSA?” on Saturday, August 31, from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Rappler HQ. 

News and posts about the horrible traffic, especially along EDSA, have been a regular fixture on social media in the past few days. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) also introduced the yellow lane policy which netizens, however, slammed as anti-poor.  

The traffic problem is not new. Commuters have long lamented about their long commute that has affected their work, family life, and personal well-being. With Christmas just around the corner, commuters are also bracing for a longer and more tiresome commute. 

How can we, as a community, reimagine EDSA? 

Regular EDSA commuters are encouraged to join this huddle. Click the button below to register or fill up this form.

Aside from the Huddle, MovePH is also doing a series of roadshows around the Philippines to bridge the online gap by bringing the conversation to communities. – Rappler.com
