Title Source: Supreme Court: UVVRP Rules for New Vehicles w/o Plates

Law: Mmda Memorandum Circular No. 06, S. 2013

Decision Date: Apr 5, 2013

New vehicles in Metro Manila without license plates but with conduction stickers are now subject to the Unified Vehicle Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), using the last digit of the conduction sticker to determine their coding day, while ensuring compliance with existing traffic regulations.

Law Summary

Coverage and Vehicles Affected

Applies to brand new vehicles registered in the National Capital Region (NCR) and nearby regions that use Metro Manila streets.
Includes various types of vehicles such as cars, utility vehicles, sports utility vehicles, and buses.
Targets vehicles that are not yet issued or have not installed their LTO license plates and only possess conduction stickers.

Determination of UVVRP Coverage

The last numerical digit of the conduction sticker shall be used to determine the day when the vehicle is subject to the UVVRP (number coding scheme).
This rule is applied without prejudice to existing LTO regulations and without affecting other traffic law enforcement.
Upon receiving LTO license plates, the UVVRP coverage will then be based on the last numerical digit of the plates instead of the conduction stickers.

Responsibilities of Vehicle Owners and Dealers

Owners must not detach conduction stickers before the official issuance and installation of license plates.
They are required to prominently display the conduction sticker number on the spaces designated for license plates, both front and rear.
Dealers are similarly required to ensure conduction stickers are properly displayed during the interim period.

Enforcement and Compliance

Vehicles without license plates will be apprehended for UVVRP violations based on the conduction sticker number.
The policy aligns with LTO Memorandum Circular No. VPT-2012-1640 which allows non-apprehension for lack of plates if registration documents are presented.
The circular explicitly states this directive does not override or replace any existing laws, rules, or regulations on vehicle registration and license plate issuance.

Penalties for Violation

A fine of Three Hundred Pesos (P300.00) will be imposed for violations of MMDA Regulation No. 96-005 and these guidelines.

Modification of Previous Circulars

All prior circulars inconsistent with these guidelines are modified, amended, or repealed accordingly.

Legal Effectivity and Separability Clause

The circular takes effect fifteen (15) days after its publication.
If any provision is declared unconstitutional or invalid by a competent court, other provisions remain effective and enforceable.
