Bibliography : pages 49-55. Thesis Classification: F Commuting during the pandemic is a risk factor for contracting the COVID-19 disease. This descriptive study focused on the working commuters in Metro Manila on family engagement, COVID-19 risk perception, and commuting safety practices. Researcher-made Likert scale was used to gather data from 67 respondents who are family members who regularly commute to and from work. Descriptive statistics were used to present and analyze the data. The majority of the respondents commute to work five to six times a week, and they commute for about 30 to 60 minutes. Respondents used jeepneys more frequently, followed by tricycles and buses, and a majority often chose open windows for public transport ventilation. Findings indicate that most commuters experience a medium to a high level of risks while commuting. Most of the respondents experienced 100% seating capacity or full seating capacity, where there are a few passengers who do not wear their face masks properly and were talking or conversing over the phone. The members of the family were highly engaged in terms of risk prevention in commuting. The family was very highly engaged in regularly reminding the commuter to wear their face mask properly, to use alcohol sanitizers before they get on and off public transportation, and to avoid closed spaces/crowded places. On the other hand, the respondents were very highly observant of safety practices or preventive measures such as washing their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, the immediate use of alcohol/sanitizer when they hold onto the seat/ handrails of public transportation, when handing over the fee of passengers, and of wearing a face mask properly. Lastly, commuters seemed to perceive a high risk of possible infection and transmission due to the increase in seating capacity and ease of physical distancing. Transportation and state Philippines.
