Abstract
Transportation services in a province can significantly influence its socioeconomic status. This study was aimed to establish the relationship between transport services and the poverty incidence among families in North Cotabato Province. This study aims to determine if (a) the road access and access to public transportation have relationships to the total enrollment of public elementary and secondary schools; (b) what transport variables can influence the socioeconomic development of the province. Analysis showed the significant influence of distance of public elementary schools to its enrollment. Access to basic services can significantly influence the poverty level of the province. Furthermore, the quantity of road access needs to grow parallel with the population to lessen the poverty incidence among families. These results are useful in future planning to alleviate poverty in the province.
