[SIZE=2]Sec. Oscar Inocentes Announced Suspension of UVVRP Starting Tomorrow (Tuesday) to Give Way for the Lenten Season[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Oscar Inocentes today announced the suspension of the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) starting tomorrow (Tuesday).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The early lifting of the number coding scheme is implemented to give way to the expected mass exodus of vehicles, both public utility and private, to the provinces as the country celebrates the Lenten season.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]“The suspension of the UVVRP is our way of ensuring the convenience of the public. This way, they can travel without any delay, and there will be enough public utility vehicles to ferry passengers all day long,” Inocentes said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]In line with this, the agency is also taking part in the yearly Lakbay Alalay under the Oplan Semana Santa spearheaded by the Department of Transportation and Communications.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The MMDA Traffic and Transport Management Office (TTMO) will deploy more than 1,000 traffic enforcers to man the major thoroughfares, particularly Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (Edsa) and the other exit points of Metro Manila.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]According to Inocentes, majority of the traffic personnel will be assigned to the roads leading to provincial bus terminals and other vital installations to guarantee the safety of thousands of commuters and even pedestrians.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The operations of the TTMO, in close coordination with the local government units, will concentrate on crucial areas and traffic choke points such as Balintawak, McArthur Highway, Ortigas Avenue Extension, Sumulong Highway, Marcos Highway, Coastal Road, Roxas Boulevard, Alabang, Pasay, and Cubao.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Inocentes stressed that the “nose in nose out” policy on bus terminals will be in effect, thereby prohibiting bus drivers to maneuver their vehicles along Edsa. Also, they are not allowed to load and unload outside their respective terminals.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]“I have ordered our enforcers to strictly enforce the rules so that there will be a smooth flow of traffic,” Inocentes said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The agency’s Roadside Emergency Group will also be on standby to provide roadside emergency service and assistance to the public.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The MMDA chief likewise appealed to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) management to deploy additional personnel to collect toll fees during rush hours to avoid traffic congestion.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Inocentes also urged the public to cooperate and support the traffic enforcers and other authorities in order to guarantee a safe, peaceful, and meaningful Lent. [/SIZE]
