    The document discusses the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) in Metro Manila, also known as the "number coding" scheme. The UVVRP was originally implemented in the 1990s as a short-term traffic demand management measure during infrastructure construction. While intended to be temporary, the UVVRP remains in use today on major roads, with some modifications. However, various transportation stakeholders now criticize its continued use, especially with its expansion to public transportation vehicles, arguing it is no longer necessary given completed infrastructure projects. The document examines the ongoing impact and effectiveness of the UVVRP program in reducing air pollution in Metro Manila.

    “ THE IMPACT OF THE UNIFIED VEHICULAR VOLUME REDUCTION PROGRAM IN

    REDUCING AIR POLLUTION “

    Congestion has been a major variable when it comes to air pollution. Countries across
    the world have done their part in trying to reduce congestion to better their
    environment and the health of its people. According to Armah et.al. (2010),
    government policies which include investing more on public transportation, Traffic
    Demand Management (TDM), and supply management, were some of the proposals
    provided to solve congestion. Other authors including, Boquet (2013), Fabian and
    Gota (2009), and Issa (2014) have also included in their the study the use of TDM.
    Traffic Demand Management is the improvement of overall activity and mobility in
    the present traffic system Issa (2014). This is to provide multiple transportation
    management strategies that would reduce congestion in the area which in turn would
    reduce air pollution. One of these is the HOV lanes provided by the author Issa, 2014.
    HOV or High occupancy vehicles would have lanes available to them only, for
    example bus lanes. In addition to the TDM, transit improvements are also an option to
    reduce private vehicle use.

    Controlling the vehicles help avoid some accidents and even save the lives of
    the people.The researchers utilized the descriptive method because it is
    designed for the researcher to gather information about presenting existing
    condition. It is also used because the nature of the situation exits at the time
    of conducting the study.

    “ TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN METRO MANILA”

    The Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), more popularly known
    as the “number coding” scheme was originally developed as a short-term travel
    demand management measure for Metro Manila in the light of on-going construction
    of transportation infrastructure projects in the 1990’s. Although the scheme was not
    meant to be a long-term policy, the UVVRP is at present still implemented along
    major roads in Metro Manila albeit with some modifications like the mid-day
    window. With the completion of those major infrastructure projects, various
    transportation stakeholders, particularly those who are significantly disrupted by the
    UVVRP are critical of its continuous implementation, especially now that the
    authorities are imposing the scheme on public transportation vehicles as well.
