ABSTRACT: Environmental legislation must be considered, especially in various industries such as transit, particularly here in the tricycle capital of the Philippines, Cabanatuan City. This study intends to assess TODAs member with regard to environmental laws and city environmental ordinances and also to determine if there is a significant relationship between profile of the tricycle drivers and the problems they encounter. This study utilized both quantitative and descriptive analysis to assess the respondents in terms of their operations. Findings revealed that overall proportion of participants were males in aged 30s to early 40s; the majority of them seem to be married and had operated a tricycle for 11 - 15 years. Respondents are involved in self-evaluation in terms of environmental protection as the assessment of environmental interactions occurs; and trike drivers decide to accept action on appropriate waste disposal within the community in just a few circumstances. Alongside on city environmental ordinances, responders follow proper driving procedures, and tricycle drivers are regularly reminded that trash inside their tricycles is unlawful. Tricycle drivers confronted the following problems: hampered by high fuel prices; experienced fewer passengers due to more private vehicles; and impolite passengers. The findings and conclusions of this study may help reinforce processes, build successful techniques, and consequences for drivers in the mentioned industry.
