Suspendido ang number-coding scheme sa Metro Manila sa Semana Santa sa April 6 hanggang 10.
Ayon kay Metro Manila Development Authority acting Chairman Don Artes, magtatayo ang kanilang hanay ng multi-agency command center (MACC) simula sa April 3 para masiguro na magiging maayos, payapa at makabuluhan ang Semana Santa.
Binubuo ang MACC ng mga kinatawan mula sa MMDA, Department of Transportation, Department of Public Works and Highways, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, Inter-Agency Council for Traffic, Land Transportation Office, Philippine National Police, at local government units.
Imo-monitor ng MACC ang actual status ng mga major transport hubs lalo na ang mga malalaking bus terminals sa Metro Manila mula Huwebes Santo kung saan inaasahan ang pagdagsa ng mga pasahero.
“Through this inter-agency action center, we can monitor real-time updates on bus terminals across Metro Manila to ensure safer travel of the commuting public and orderly traffic flow in our roads as we observe the Holy Week,” ayon kay Artes.
“The MMDA will activate its Oplan Metro Alalay Semana Santa 2023 from Holy Wednesday until April 10 and will deploy a total of 2,104 personnel on major thoroughfares, major transport hubs, and key areas in the metropolis to ensure the safe and smooth traffic flow this Lenten season,” pahayag ni Artes.
Ipatutupad din ng MMDA ang No Day Off, No Absent Policy sa April 5, 6, at 10.
“MMDA traffic personnel will be assigned to roads leading to bus terminals, seaports, airports, and major churches across the metropolis, to guide the commuters taking advantage of the Lenten season and to ensure unimpeded traffic flow,” pahayag ni Artes.
