The Commission for Environmental Protection of the Megalopolis (CAMe) announced that the Phase 1 environmental contingency remains in effect for the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico, leading to continued vehicular restrictions under the Hoy No Circula program. On February 14, vehicles bearing hologram 0 and OO stickers, marked with blue and with license plates ending in 9 and 0, will be prohibited from circulating. This situation has led to discontent among drivers who feel that they have been unfairly targeted by these regulations as this marks the second consecutive day they must suspend their travel.

The implementation of the 'Doble Hoy No Circula' for this specific date has raised questions among residents regarding the criteria used by CAMe to decide which vehicles are affected. The organization clarified that when an environmental contingency occurs over a weekend, the Hoy No Circula program is adjusted accordingly to ensure better air quality. This measure, although necessary for environmental protection, has triggered criticism from the public, particularly those who own vehicles with the affected license plates.

As air pollution continues to be a pressing issue in Mexico City, these restrictions represent ongoing efforts to mitigate the negative impact on public health and the environment. Stakeholders are left navigating the balance between enforcing regulations for the greater good and addressing the frustrations of affected vehicle owners, emphasizing the need for clear communication and potentially re-evaluating the fairness of these environmental policies.
