The mayor Edgardo Labella published on his Facebook page the Executive Order 70 signed that details the codification of the number of vehicles that can circulate through the streets of the city.

Private vehicles can travel the streets from Monday to Saturday, but not on Sundays, where vehicle traffic is not allowed, except essential ones.

Here is the schedule for encoding the number of private vehicles in Cebu City according to the last digit of your license plate number.

Monday – ending at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Tuesday – 2, 4, 6, 8, 0

Wednesday – 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Thursday – 2, 4, 6, 8, 0

Friday – 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Saturday – 2, 4, 6, 8, 0

Exemptions are made for medical vehicles, government vehicles, and free buses deployed by government agencies. All exempts on the first home stay request are also exempt.

Vehicles transporting important goods and necessities and exempt establishments must present documentation such as identification cards and employment certificates (COE) to be allowed to travel.

The Cebu City Transportation Office and barangays are tasked with ensuring the implementation of the new OE.
