Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter includes the introduction, rationale, statement of the problem, specific problems, theoretical and conceptual frameworks, significance of the study, hypothesis and lastly, the definition of terms.
Introduction
Development is a major concern that a developing country yearns for and is an indicator that a country is encroaching to the point towards economic progress.
Philippines, as a third world country relies on the expansion of roads and establishment of rail network so as to connect the gaps of people, manufactured goods, and other resources to several and different islands of the country. Transportation has been a subject of economic growth, it contributes to the assimilation of the island economies and it has played a very imperative function since Philippines is an archipelago.
Transport infrastructure is crucial for economic growth and trade, which are highly dependent on the conveyance of both people and goods. Virtually no production could take place unless inputs such as raw materials, labour, and fuel could be moved from different locations; neither could manufactured products be delivered to consumers, nor a wide variety of services carried out. (A Decade of Action in Transport, 2005). As such it is but imperative for a country to value transportation in domestic, regional, and foreign trade.
To ensure safety and easier travel, expressways were established during the 1970’s in the Philippines. Expressways are a cross between a freeway and a normal road. In short, an expressway is a highway with at-grade intersections and possibly traffic lights, but with strict restrictions on the existence of driveways. These highways are useful because they move traffic more efficiently without all of the costs and disruptions of a freeway.
The Philippines has a total of 165 km of toll roads. The first two of these toll roads, the North Luzon Expressway and South
