The Atmospheric Monitoring Directorate of Mexico City reported in the early hours of this Thursday a acceptable level in the Air and Health index, with most stations marked in green (low risk level) and only those in Camarones, in the country’s capital, and Tlalnepantla, in the State of Mexico, in yellow (moderate risk level).
Keeping pollution levels stable is possible with everyone’s participation. One way to do this is to respect the program restrictions Not Circulating Today, which this Thursday applies to vehicles with verification hologram 1 and 2, with green stickers and license plate completion 1 or 2.
Public transportation, electric or hybrid cars with hologram zero or double zero, motorcycles, emergency vehicles and those with license plates for people with disabilities are exempt from the restrictions.
The provisions for these vehicles go from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and apply in all municipalities of Mexico City and in 18 municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza, Coacalco de Berriozábal, Cuautitlán, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Chalco, Chicoloapan, Chimalhuacán, Ecatepec de Morelos, Huixquilucan, Ixtapaluca, La Paz, Naucalpan de Juárez, Nezahualcóyotl, Nicolás Romero, Tecámac, Tlalnepantla de Baz, Tultitlán and Valle de Chalco.
Ignoring the rule implies fines of 20 to 30 Update Measurement Units (UMA), that is, between 2,262 and 3,394 pesos.
