Using the structural functionalist perspective, this paper looks into the challenges contributing to the traffic congestion in Marawi City that impedes the attainment of a safe, secure, and resilient community through a sustainable, seamless, and light transport flow. This study utilizes the qualitative approach specifically the case study design. Non-probability sampling was utilized in selecting the respondents. Key informant interviews and an unobtrusive research method were utilized to gather data. Triangulation was utilized in order to ensure the research validity. This study has three sets of respondents namely: the key implementers from the Marawi City Traffic Management Group, the selected commuters, and public utility vehicles drivers. Purposive sampling was done to select the respondents from the commuters and drivers. Multiple data triangulation was also utilized, thus, unobtrusive research method, specifically content analysis, was also conducted to gather data from public documents, laws, communications, newspapers, promotional videos, and photos. The following challenges encountered by the key implementers and the traffic enforces from the Marawi Traffic Management Office, drivers, and commuters are the following: a. Presence of narrow roads within the city; b. The need for administrative support; c. The need for funds for the development of technical equipment and facilities; d. The need for capability building training of traffic enforcers; d. The need for discipline and cooperation among drivers and car owners; e. The presence of unlicensed drivers; f. The presence of illegal parking; g. The continuing construction of the drainage system. This study is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
