The Metro Manila Council has approved the resolution, according to Chief Romando Artes of METROPOLITAN Manila Development Authority (MMDA), banning all the said vehicles on the following major routes:

C1: Recto Avenue, C2: Pres. Quirino Avenue, C3: Araneta Avenue, C4: EDSA, C5: Katipunan/CP Garcia, C6: Southeast Metro Manila Expressway, R1: Roxas Boulevard, R2: Taft Avenue, R3: SLEX, R4: Shaw Boulevard, R5: Ortigas Avenue, R6: Magsaysay Blvd./Aurora Blvd., R7: Quezon Ave./Commonwealth Ave., R8: A. Bonifacio Ave., R9: Rizal Ave., R10: Del Pan/Marcos Highway/McArthur Highway, Elliptical Road, Mindanao Avenue, and Marcos Highway.

A P2,500 fine will be asked of the violators; drivers without their licenses will be subject to the impoundment of their vehicles.

The implementation of the resolution is for safety reasons to lessen the accidents due to hundreds (554) of recorded accidents and fatalities (2) in 2023 that involve e-trikes and e-bikes, Artes said.
