Metro Manila has a Safety Score of 3.5/5, youth-led pedestrian safety audits revealed.

Using parameters such as visibility and security, ADB Youth for Asia and its partners held pedestrian safety audits across Metro Manila in the Philippines using a mobile app called Safetipin. The mobile app is free, easily downloadable, and user-friendly.

Results of audits lead to the next steps: creation of data collection ICT tools across sectors and completion of the report and a tool kit for easier integration into ADB projects.
