MMDA Rules on Road Use for Special Events

Fun runs, motorcades, filming, and similar events have increased, often causing major traffic disruptions on Metro Manila's thoroughfares.
Such events often utilize MMDA resources (personnel, vehicles) without compensation.
The Metro Manila Council recognizes the need to regulate these events to manage traffic congestion and promote use of secondary roads.

Organizers must secure a Roadway Private Utilization Permit (RPUP) from MMDA after meeting local government requirements.
Application must include details: applicant's name, event purpose, validity, timing, and location.
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) must be submitted at least 14 days prior to the event.
RPUP does not replace other permits required by local governments.
Permit holders must comply strictly with traffic laws, and adhere to event times specified in the RPUP.

RPUP is required for events on major thoroughfares under MMDA jurisdiction.
RPUP is also required for events on secondary roads if these affect major thoroughfare traffic conditions.

Applicants must deposit a cash bond of P1,000 per lane-kilometer affected, with a minimum of P5,000.
The bond covers expenses related to the event, with remaining balance refunded within 10 days after the event.
MMDA may collect additional amounts if costs exceed the bond.

Violations of RPUP provisions result in automatic permit revocation.
MMDA may revoke permits without prior notice based on traffic or security conditions.

If any part of the resolution is deemed invalid or unconstitutional, unaffected provisions remain enforceable.

The resolution takes effect 15 days after publication in two general circulation newspapers.
The MMDA Chairman is authorized to issue guidelines for implementing this resolution.
