Question & AnswerQ&A (MMDA MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 06, S. 2013)
The purpose of MMDA Memorandum Circular No. 06, s. 2013 is to provide guidelines for the implementation of the Unified Vehicle Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) for new vehicles without license plates but with conduction stickers issued by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
UVVRP stands for the Unified Vehicle Volume Reduction Program, also known as the number coding scheme implemented by the MMDA to regulate and reduce vehicle volume on Metro Manila roads on specific days based on the last numerical digit of license plates.
New vehicles without installed license plates shall be covered by the UVVRP using the last numerical digit of their valid and unexpired LTO conduction sticker to determine the day they are banned from the road.
Owners and dealers of brand new vehicles are required to prominently display the conduction sticker number on the spaces allotted for regular license plates at both the front and rear of the vehicle until regular license plates are installed.
Once the regular LTO license plates are installed, the vehicle shall be covered by the UVVRP based on the last numerical digit of the license plate instead of the conduction sticker.
No, owners of brand new vehicles are prohibited from detaching the conduction sticker from the vehicle prior to the issuance and installation of official LTO license plates.
A fine of Three Hundred Pesos (₱300.00) shall be imposed for any violation of the MMDA Regulation No. 96-005 and the provisions of this circular.
No, this circular only applies for the implementation of the UVVRP and does not supplant or replace any existing laws, rules, or regulations governing vehicle registration and license plate issuance.
If any part of this circular is declared unconstitutional or invalid by a competent court, the other portions not affected shall continue to be in full force and effect.
The circular took effect fifteen (15) days after its publication.
