Hoy No Circula Program Enforced in Mexico City

The Hoy No Circula Program establishes measures applicable to vehicle circulation with the aim of preventing, minimizing, and controlling the emission of pollutants in the Megalopolis, which encompasses Mexico City and the State of Mexico. This measure seeks to limit the circulation of private vehicles, regardless of the origin of the license plates or registrations.

This Friday, vehicles with blue stickers, license plate endings 9 and 0, as well as verification holograms 1 and 2, will not circulate. In contrast, vehicles with holograms 0 and 00, electric and hybrid vehicles, those driven by health personnel, motorcycles, and cars with disabled license plates will be able to circulate without restrictions.

The Hoy No Circula schedule runs from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Fines ranging from 2,075 pesos to 3,112 pesos will be applied to those who do not comply with the program's rules.

The only day when the Hoy No Circula does not apply to any vehicle is Sunday, remaining exempt from any type of restriction. The only exception to this rule is when the Environmental Commission of the Megalopolis suspends the program or implements a double Hoy No Circula.
