The Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), commonly called number coding or color coding, is a road space rationing program in the Philippines that aims to reduce traffic congestion, in particular during peak hours, by restricting the use of major public roads by certain types of vehicles based on the final digit on their license plates. First implemented in 1995 in Metro Manila, the program has since been emulated in the cities of Baguio, Cabanatuan, and Dagupan, and the province of Cavite with slight variations.
