The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people’s travel behaviors and perspectives toward transit and its usage. Different trends affecting travelers’ transit ridership were found in previous research studies, which identified the different causes for transit demand decrease such as fear of infection, feelings of safety, and job requirements. This research aimed to analyze the association of socioeconomic characteristics, travel behaviors, perspectives, and transit usage of commuters in the UPLB community during the pandemic. Spearman’s ρ was used to find any associations in the variables. Results showed a significant decline in daily public transportation usage from 53% to 21% which is attributed to travel behaviors and perspectives on safety from the pandemic. Most of the transportation factors garnered low to moderate significance indicating that it was still highly likely that other factors were involved in the decreased transit usage. Meanwhile strong associations were observed in some of them such as budgeting before and during the pandemic, the sector's budgeting and commuter's well-being, and the necessity of transit before and during the pandemic. The study found that continued assistance for the sector, improving road networks and facilities, promotion of active transportation, and public campaigns encouraging transit usage are essential to UPLB commuters.
