Summary of Major Findings
1. Transport and traffic issues are viewed as serious in medium-sized cities and large cities—ranking at the top 3;2. Equipment, key documents, and references to aid cities in
traffic and transport planning are generally wanting; insufficientdata needed for a scientific analysis;3. Much of budget is spent on personnel—presumably trafficenforcers— very little left for any substantive measures to beundertaken;

Solutions must be resilient to deal with unexpected
conditions, such as:
Changing land use patterns
Emergencies and disasters
A network link is broken A critical resource becomes scarce and expensive
A major sport or cultural event

Provide interconnectivity among transport modes
Give preference to TSM and TDM Measures Introduce truck ban judiciously
Promote non-motorized transport

Replace the UVVRP with a more
effective Traffic Restraint Scheme Description of the Existing Scheme
- Cars, buses and jeepneys with plate numbers ending
in 1 & 2 not allowed on Mondays, 3 &4 on Tuesdays, 5& 6 on Wednesdays, 7 & 8 on Thursdays and 9 & 0 onFridays.

Description of UVVRP Current Application:
- Scheme operated between 7 am and 7 pm, with window hours from 10 am to 3 pm
- City specific schemes:Makati City & Las Pinas City – No window hours
Pasig City – Window hours from 9 am to 4 pm
Marikina City & Taguig City – Scheme not appliedParanaque City – No window hours & along certain
roads only
Pasay City – Not implemented along certain roads

Research Findings on the Scheme 77 % of other cars were bought as alternative cars
during coding days.
45% of car owners own more than 1 car.
Those who own a single car, 76% intend to buy a newcar
On coding day, 33 % used an alternative car; others
(17%) traveled within the window hours.

20/34
Analysis of the Scheme If alternative car is used twice a week, UVVRP would
only reduce 1.8% of car volume.
If alternative car is used thrice a week, UVVRP wouldincrease 2.4 % of car volume.
If half of those who intend to buy a new car did buyone and use it at least once a week, UVVRP would
result in increased car volume.
