What Move As One Coalition does

Move As One Coalition is a Philippines-based non-profit advocacy coalition founded in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 public transport crisis, when jeepney drivers lost jobs and healthcare workers were unable to commute. The coalition advocates for a safer, more humane, and more inclusive public transportation system, with stated priorities including commuter rights (#CommutersNaman), a just transition for public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization, inclusive mobility for persons with disabilities and the elderly, and protected bike lanes (#ProtectedBikeLanesNow).

Its core outputs are research and advocacy products rather than technology. The coalition publishes 10+ policy papers, a transport data dashboard sourced from the Philippine Statistics Authority and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, an open-access Data Bank on Google Sheets, an Advocate Guide for community organizing, and regular press statements. Distribution occurs through a Webflow-hosted website (moveasoneph.org), Facebook, Twitter, email newsletter, ResearchGate, and earned media on advocacy-relevant dates.

The coalition operates with nine staff and is sustained by donations and contributions from supporters, with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, investors, or audited financials. It is co-convened by transport economist Robert Siy Jr., with a 16-person named leadership spanning transport workers, commuters, cyclists, persons with disabilities, labor, climate justice, medical, urban planning, and youth advocacy constituencies. The coalition's reach includes 77,000 individual supporters and over 140 signatory Filipino organizations spanning the National Capital Region, Central Visayas, and other Philippine regions.

Regional players

• People for Bikes: U.S.-based coalition advancing bicycle infrastructure and ridership through advocacy and research. Comparable to Move As One's #ProtectedBikeLanesNow campaign and bicycle-policy research, though primarily serving North American cities rather than Philippine urban contexts.
• Transport Action Network: UK-based advocacy group campaigning for sustainable transport policy at national and local levels. Comparable to Move As One as a civil society coalition producing evidence-based campaigns on public transport investment and modal shift, though operating in a UK policy context.

Direct peers

• IBON Foundation: Philippine research and advocacy non-profit producing policy research on socio-economic issues including infrastructure and public services. Comparable to Move As One in being a Philippines-based civil society organization producing evidence-based policy research to influence national government decisions.
• Clean Air Asia: Manila-headquartered non-profit working on air quality and sustainable transport across Asia. Comparable to Move As One because of overlapping focus on transportation emissions reduction, urban mobility policy, and engagement with Philippine government agencies and LGUs.
• Foundation for a Sustainable Society, Inc. (FSSI): Philippine non-profit supporting marginalized sectors including workers and informal settlers, with engagement on transport workers' welfare and just transition. Comparable to Move As One in advocating for transport workers affected by PUV modernization and producing position papers on inclusive policy.
• NUMO (New Urban Mobility Alliance): Global alliance of public, private, and civic organizations working to shift urban mobility toward public and active transport. Comparable to Move As One in coalition-based mobility advocacy, sharing research outputs and policy positions on inclusive, sustainable urban transportation reform.
• ITDP East Asia (Regional Office): Regional arm of ITDP operating across East and Southeast Asian cities including Indonesia and the Philippines. Comparable to Move As One because it conducts on-the-ground transport advocacy, BRT and active mobility campaigns, and policy engagement in Southeast Asian urban contexts similar to Manila and Cebu.
• Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP): Global non-profit that promotes sustainable and equitable urban transportation, including active mobility and bus rapid transit. Directly comparable to Move As One Coalition because both conduct evidence-based advocacy, publish policy research, and engage government stakeholders to reform transport policy in favor of public and non-motorized transport.

Broad incumbents

• World Resources Institute (WRI) Ross Center for Sustainable Cities: Global research organization operating the Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, which works on accessible, low-carbon urban mobility. Comparable to Move As One in the broader sustainable mobility advocacy space, but at much larger scale and with a wider portfolio of environmental and climate programs.

Emerging players

• Greenpeace Philippines: Philippine affiliate of a global environmental advocacy network, with work intersecting transportation emissions, fossil fuels, and climate policy. Comparable because it pursues policy advocacy and public campaigns in the Philippines on transportation-adjacent climate issues, though with a broader environmental mandate.
