The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said Thursday it will suspend the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), popularly known as the color-coding scheme, in Metro Manila except Makati from February 3 to 21.
MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said the move will allow the agency to assess the potential impact of the planned abolition of the scheme on the flow of vehicular traffic on Metro Manila's major thoroughfares.
Fernando, however, said that suspension of the color-coding scheme does not include Makati City.
The color-coding scheme prohibits cars from being driven around Metro Manila from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays to Fridays based on the last digit of motorists' license plates. It was the brainchild of then traffic czar Romeo Maganto.
