The "Hoy No Circula" program is a daily initiative in Mexico City and the State of Mexico aimed at reducing pollution levels in the Valley of Mexico and Toluca. On February 11, 2026, specific restrictions apply, requiring certain vehicles to refrain from circulation based on their license plate color and numbers. This program is part of broader efforts to combat air quality issues and promote sustainable transport alternatives.

The rules governing the program specify that vehicles are exempt from restrictions if they have clean technologies or are electric. The initiative has proven effective in encouraging the use of public transport as a viable alternative to reduce pollution. On the designated date, only vehicles falling outside the criteria for exemption are permitted to operate, emphasizing the ongoing challenge of air pollution management in urban areas.

As the program continues, the implications for local transport, vehicle ownership, and environmental policies become increasingly relevant. Citizens must stay informed about restrictions to comply with regulations and contribute to the initiative’s goal of improving air quality. This ongoing pollution control strategy highlights the importance of collaborative efforts between the government and citizens to cultivate a healthier environment.
