The Number Coding Scheme (officially the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program or UVVRP) is a program that controls when vehicles whose plate number ends in a particular number are barred from using the main streets of Metro Manila on particular days.
The program's original proposal mandated that the color of the roofs of public transportation, like jeepneys and buses, is used as the basis for barring of these vehicles. Hence, the program is also often known as the Color Coding Scheme.
The original program stated that private vehicles whose plate number ends in an even number are barred from major streets in Metro Manila on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And vehicles with plate numbers ending in an odd number are barred on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
The ban was only for designated rush hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Certain vehicles, such as ambulances, diplomatic vehicles, registered school buses, and those that carry pershable goods, as well as othe private vehicles that carry more than two occupants including the driver are exempted from the ban.
