Understanding Number Coding in Metro Manila
The number coding scheme (also called the Modified Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program or UVVRP) is a traffic management strategy for reducing the number of cars—and ultimately easing congestion—on the road.
The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) implements the number coding implementation in Metro Manila. Through this program, traffic volume is expected to be reduced by 20% during morning and afternoon/evening peak hours.
