The office’s timing is pretty spot on with the recent announcements regarding the reimplemented number coding scheme, and it’s likely that plenty of motorists will take the offer in order to choose what weekdays their vehicle will be allowed on major thoroughfares.
Any vehicle except for PUVs, cargo trucks, service vehicles, vintage vehicles, cars for rent, government vehicles, diplomatic, and exempt vehicles will not be allowed to avail of this service. Vehicles with more than four wheels will also not be allowed to avail of this service.

Under this program, the owner of the covered brand-new motor vehicle or its duly authorized representative may apply at any authorized LTO Regional/District Offices for an OMVSP pair. The price and the scheme of the OMVSP shall be as follows:
