The Metro Manila Accident Recording and Analysis System (MMARAS) report for the year 2016. It provides information on traffic accidents, including the number of incidents, severity, and locations, as well as the distribution of accidents by vehicle types. The report is produced by the Road Safety Unit of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and includes data from individual report forms and recorded road crashes.

Traffic Accident Report
January to December 2016
Produced by the Road Safety Unit (RSU)
Traffic Discipline Office-Traffic Engineering Center (TDO-TEC)
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA)
The Metro Manila Accident Recording and Analysis System (MMARAS) is created and operated by the Road Safety Unit (RSU) of the MMDA-Traffic Discipline Office-Traffic Engineering Center (MMDA-TDO-TEC), with the cooperation and assistance of the Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The objective is to compile and maintain an on-going database of Fatal, Non Fatal Injury and Damage to Property road crashes, which can indicate areas where safety improvements are need to be made. The system will also allow the impact of improvement measures that needs to be monitored.
This report is intended to provide brief information on ‘Fatal’, ‘Non Fatal Injury’ and ‘Damage to Property’ road crashes that have been recorded by the MMDA-Road Safety Unit thru the Police Blotter of the PNP for the year 2016. The information is presented in tabular form, which provides a readily identifiable pattern of accident locations and causation patterns.
The Road Safety Unit currently has 9 data researchers who gather traffic accident data from different traffic offices and stations of the Traffic Enforcement Units (TEU) within Metro Manila. Previously, only those incidences involving Fatal and Non Fatal are gathered and encoded at the MMARAS database. But for the year 2005 up to present, we included the Damage to Property incidence so that we can see the significance and the real picture of what really is happening in our roads and also it gives us additional information in analyzing the causes of accident.
Although influx of traffic accident data increases tremendously, the Road Safety Unit managed to store this damage to property incidences to our MMARAS database and now included in the analysis for the formulation of remedial measures that would be introduced on the identified black spots.
The assistance and cooperation of the traffic investigators will be necessary to maintain an accurate record of the facts surrounding every traffic accident within Metro Manila, since a truly significant picture will only develop over time. The work of the Road Safety Unit will be crucial in providing an appropriate directional trust in the fight to make the roads of Metro Manila a safer place for everyone.
The Metropolitan Road Safety Unit can be contacted for further information or assistance on Tel: 882-4151-57 loc. 1135.

On the table no. 4, the municipality of Pateros has the lowest number of incidences for the year 2016 from January to December, followed by Navotas and Malabon. We can now consider these LGU’s to be the safest in Metro Manila in terms of road crash incident is concerned, since they have lesser recorded fatal, non-fatal and damage to property incidences in the MMARAS database up to this date. This may be attributed to the following:
On the other hand, the City of Quezon dominates all the cities and municipalities of Metro Manila in terms of fatal road traffic accident followed by City of Makati and then Makati. This is because of the following several factors:
However, problems on road traffic accident in the entire Metropolitan Manila would be given preference by this agency in providing remedial measures on the “blackspots” or accident-prone areas. On this process, traffic accident might be reducing in the future.

A person involved in a road accident may indicate a driver, a passenger or a pedestrian. Of these types of persons involved, we have recorded 195 pedestrians (43.72%), 194 drivers (43.50%) and 57 passengers (12.78%) that have been killed in road accidents since January up to December 2016. Looking into persons injured, 10,233 (49.02%) are drivers, 5,730 (27.45%) passengers and 4,913 (23.53%) pedestrians. The relatively high proportion of drivers and pedestrians killed and injured is a cause for concern.
The following table represents the frequency of incidents by time of day. However, there were a number of accidents this year that did not have the time of the incident recorded. These involved eleven (11) fatal, one hundred ninety six (196) non-fatal injury and seven hundred thirty six (736) damage to property accidents.

Overall, 40,823 or 37.34% of accidents occurred during the hours of darkness and without time indicated, while the 68,499 or 62.65% occurred during daytime. But, it can be observed that eventhough most of the accidents occurred at daytime, fatal accidents are considered high during night-time and wee hours in the morning. Drivers, Passengers and Pedestrians are advised to be cautious and attentive during these particular hours.

Three (3) Accident Causations
MMDA has been coming up with solutions to solve the problem in Road Safety, almost all of the Authority’s projects are geared towards Public Safety. Pedestrians facilities and signage’s are designed to promote safety and convenience, Footbridges has been put up at major choke points where pedestrian volume is high, Sidewalk clearing operations intensified, geometric improvements at accident prone areas undertaken among others. Road Safety is a global concern, and the task to lessen the number of traffic accidents is a high objective but possible with the cooperation and support of the public.
