In connection, the Department of Transportation has mobilized drivers and conductors, police escorts, military escorts, LTO, LTFRB and I-ACT personnel to come up with free shuttle services for healthcare workers and other frontliners.

Also, in a release, the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) lauded the DOTr effort, and noted that "many private transport companies such as Mitsubishi dealership Diamond Motors, Isuzu dealership Inteco, Hino Motors, PilipinasAutogroup, and Gazelle Motors have (also) provided PUVs (public utility vehicles) for free use."

EVAP has also partnered with local Filipino fastfood chain Binalot to provide free meals for the "200-strong personnel from different organizations that support this DOTr initiative. It has pledged almost 3,000 meal packages for this DOTr project."

EVAP president Edmund Araga says that the EVAP "recognizes the bravery and dedication of these men and women who are willing to risk their lives due to the possible exposure to COVID-19 virus just to perform their duty of transporting healthcare workers to and from the hospitals."  He declared, "As a gesture of gratitude, we have forged a partnership with Binalot to provide them nourishing Filipino comfort food to sustain them during the enhanced community quarantine."
 
Meanwhile, Binalot president Rommel Juan reminded the need to work together to beat COVID-19. "We are happy that entities such as EVAP  have stepped up to provide meals for our transport frontliners. We hope that other private entities will follow suit and also support the DOTr and the government in general for us to beat this pandemic."
 
Donations to frontliners are also accepted through  Vida Malapajo at 09328761352.
