This study develops a Smart Mobility Index (SMI) tailored to the 17 Local Government Units (LGUs) of Metro Manila to evaluate their readiness to adopt integrated, efficient, and technology-enabled mobility systems. While global smart mobility indices are often ill-suited to the realities of developing countries, this research proposes a context-specific framework built around four thematically grounded dimensions: public transportation service, active mobility, unified cashless fare systems, and smart traffic management. The SMI was constructed through a mixed-method approach combining expert interviews with metropolitan transport specialists and co-occurrence network analysis.
