QuestionsQuestions (MMDA Resolution NO. 03-10)
It states it is re-implementing the UVVRP “pursuant to Section 6 of Republic Act No. 7924.”
MMDA Resolution No. 03-03 suspended the UVVRP in January 2003 to determine appropriateness to lift it; MMDA Resolution No. 03-08 extended the experimental suspension approved on February 21, 2003 to allow enough time to assess the best traffic scheme.
Most roads in Metro Manila were clogged with heavy traffic, especially during peak hours.
From 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.
From 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.
Provincial buses, shuttle buses, school buses, and motorcycle units.
Makati City and the Municipality of San Juan; from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.
It shall take effect March 17, 2003.
MMDA Regulation No. 96-005, entitled “Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program Regulating the Operation of Certain Motor Vehicles on All Roads of Metro Manila,” known as the “Number Coding Scheme.”
It modifies the time schedules and exemptions, including the UVVRP coverage for private/public utility vehicles, window hours for private vehicles, exemptions for certain bus types and motorcycles, and special implementation in Makati and San Juan.
Hilda I. Corpuz as Overall Head, Council Secretariat, and Bayani F. Fernando as Chairman.
No. The window hours for private vehicles are from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.; 9:30 A.M. is outside that window.
The resolution’s special rule applies from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.; 8:00 P.M. is outside that stated UVVRP period for the special implementation, so the special “without window hours” restriction would not apply as described.
Yes, it is still within the UVVRP framework (number coding scheme) but allows travel for private vehicles during the window hours (10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.); it does not state that there is no restriction during window hours.
It shows a phased implementation approach: suspension to assess appropriateness, then experimental extension to evaluate the best scheme, followed by re-implementation upon observation of continued traffic congestion.
It asserts authority to re-implement UVVRP “pursuant to” a specific statute (RA 7924, Sec. 6), implying MMDA/Council has legal mandate to regulate certain vehicles and traffic management measures.
