As universities reopen after the COVID-19 pandemic and millions of Filipino students return to school, there is an increased demand for transportation services. Unfortunately, the country's fragmented and underdeveloped transportation infrastructure has led to limited and unreliable public transportation services, which has been a challenge for the students. This study focuses on the transportation mode preferences of university students at the University of the Philippines Diliman, one of Metro Manila's largest higher learning institutions. The study uses data from a thirteen-part online survey to describe: 1) the travel modes used by students, including the amount they spend on transport for a) getting to the campus, b) moving within the campus, and c) leaving the campus, and 2) their perceptions of a) convenience, and b) safety of their current mode of travel. The study also examines the relationship between their transport mode choice and 1) perceptions of convenience and safety attributes, 2) sex/gender, 3) income status, 4) age, and 5) disability using statistical analysis. The study found that public transit is the most significant mode of transport used by students traveling to and from the UP Diliman campus. Key factors influencing mode choice are 1) age, 2) household income, and perceptions of a) comfort and b) COVID-19 safety. These findings suggest the need to 1) align initiatives with students' capacity to pay and 2) improve convenience and comfort to increase the use of non-motorized transport modes and public transport services.
