Overview
- CAMe, which confirmed early Wednesday no contingency, says vehicles with red stickers and plates ending in 3 or 4 with hologram 1 or 2 must stay off the road from 5:00 to 22:00.
- Air readings shifted from “poor” on Monday to “acceptable” by Tuesday morning, so authorities kept the standard weekly schedule rather than activating Phase 1 measures.
- The program covers all 16 Mexico City boroughs and 18 nearby State of Mexico municipalities, and it also applies in the Toluca and Santiago Tianguistenco metro areas.
- Common exemptions include cars with 00 or 0 verification holograms, electric and hybrid vehicles, emergency units, public transport, motorcycles, and authorized medical or school transport.
- Fines for breaking the rules range from 20 to 30 UMAs in 2026, or about 2,250 to 3,500 pesos, and police and mobility officers can impound vehicles; officials update air reports hourly so stricter limits can return quickly if pollution rises.
