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 [[Vehicle registration plates of the Philippines|license plate]]s. 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.
