Re-Implement MMDA Number Coding Scheme

The full title is “RE-IMPLEMENTING 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’ WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS.”
The Resolution takes effect on March 17, 2003.
The Resolution adopts a re-implementation approach with some modifications to the previously enacted vehicle volume reduction scheme.

The Council re-implements the UVVRP because traffic congestion was observed to worsen during earlier suspensions, especially during peak hours.
The Council recognizes the urgent need to re-implement the UVVRP on all roads of Metro Manila.

The Resolution re-implements 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.”
The UVVRP is re-implemented on all roads in Metro Manila.
The re-implementation applies with the modifications stated in the Resolution.

Private and Public Utility Vehicles are covered during 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.
Window Hours for Private Vehicles are set from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

Makati City and the Municipality of San Juan implement the UVVRP (Number Coding) from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. without window hours for private vehicles.

The Resolution recognizes that the Council enacted MMDA Resolution No. 03-03 in January 2003 to suspend the UVVRP to assess whether it should be lifted.
The Resolution recognizes that the Council approved MMDA Resolution No. 03-08 on February 21, 2003 to extend the experimental suspension of the UVVRP to allow time to assess the best traffic-solving scheme.
