This information from the Mexican Government is provided as a courtesy to U.S. citizens driving in the Federal District of Mexico.

Beginning September 1st, metropolitan Mexico City will be subject to new rules which are aimed at reducing pollution. The new rules can be summarized as follows:

2. This new rule does not apply to those vehicles that have “zero” or “double zero” stickers obtained through the voluntary verification program at the various Verificentros (emissions testing centers) in D.F., EDOMEX, and/or stickers from those states that joined the agreement (Hidalgo, Morelos, Puebla and Queretaro).
