The article outlines which vehicles are restricted from circulating in Mexico City and the State of Mexico on February 10, 2026, as part of the Hoy No Circula program aimed at reducing pollution.
On February 10, 2026, the Hoy No Circula program in Mexico City and the State of Mexico will be implemented to curb vehicle pollution levels. The restrictions will affect vehicles based on their license plate numbers, which are categorized by color of the sticker (engomado) and the last digit of their plates. In particular, cars equipped with a hologram one or two stickers and those with a pink engomado are restricted from circulation, specifically those plates ending in the digits 7 and 8.
The program addresses the air quality issues in the metropolitan area known as the Valley of Mexico, which includes not only the 16 municipalities of Mexico City but also 40 municipalities in the State of Mexico, such as Toluca and Tianguistenco. This regulatory effort aims to decrease the negative impact of vehicle emissions on the environment and public health, particularly in urban areas where traffic congestion and pollution levels are typically high.
The Hoy No Circula program is enforced daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, requiring compliance from motorists to ensure the effectiveness of this environmental initiative. By limiting the number of vehicles on the road during peak times, the authorities aim to improve air quality and encourage the use of alternative transportation methods among residents in these urban areas.
