PASE Turistico for Hoy no Circula

Briansue tomorrow morning I will call my brother in law and ask that he finds out if there are areas where this is excluded, I just did not want to try to figure out what days I am allowed to travel and what days not.

So tomorrow I will post the answer that I receive from the horses mouth, he is the architect that constructed the Bolsa de Valores on Avenida Reforma, black triangular building, he travells quite a lot by car so he is aware of all those rules.

Navegator - not to be disagreeable but the rules I have read and the maps I have seen about the restricted zone does not include the entire state of Mexico - and the last I heard Teotihuacan is not in the zone. I got it from Mina who owns the RV park in Teotihuacan and assures us that they are not in the zone. The website I provided clearly shows a map with Teotihuacan outside the zone. There may have been a very recent change but I have not heard of it. Are there any other maps showing the zone? Does any website or other source provide clear and concise boundaries of the restricted zone? Anyone know?

To briansue from navegator, Teotihuacan is in the State of Mexico, and is subject to the Hoy no Circula regulations, that is why we have personal plates that finish with the letter A, that limits our travels only on Friday and the last Saturday should they be 30 or 31.

I have family that lives and works in Mexico city and have been there on a number of timews since the programs where started. It is best to err on the side of caution rather than having a hassle with the "Mordelones" Transit Police.

I believe the PASE is only available to those living in the Mexican states mentioned. When they refer to foreign plates they are not talking about foreign countries - they are talking about states in Mexico other than DF or Mexico. I do not believe US or Canada are eligible. If you going to be in Teotihuacan you are not in the zone so no worries. Mina told us years ago Teotihuacan is not in the zone and it appears that is still true.

The following Geo-Mexico website has more info about Hoy no Circula including a map showing the area of restrictions. Arco Norte and Teotihuacan are not in the area. Plates ending in a letter are restricted the same as 9 – 0 plates.

Here is another quick look at Hoy no Circula. Other websites can be found.

14.1. circulation limitations set by the program "Hoy No Circula" to units registered in the Federal District and / or State of Mexico are:

The internal combustion vehicles registered in the Federal District and State of Mexico should stop flowing from Monday to Saturday from 5:00 to 22:00 pm, based on the last digit number of the license plate and / or the Color decal permanent circulation (gumming), except for the local public transport of passengers whose restriction will be from 10:00 to 22:00. The restriction applies as established in the following table:

DAY LIMITATION OF MOVEMENT
Monday Yellow * (5 and 6) **
Tuesday Pink * (7 and 8) **
Wednesday Red * (3 and 4) **
Thursday Green * (1 and 2) **
Friday Blue * (9 and 0), **
without number plates or vehicles with permits

(I think gummed or rubberized means vehicles with that color sticker)

Saturday
The first Saturday of each month gummed vehicles yellow and completion of plates 5 and 6,
the second Saturday of each month rubberized vehicles and termination pink plates 7 and 8,
the third Saturday of each month gummed vehicles red and termination plates 3 and 4,
the fourth Saturday of each month vehicles with green rubberized termination plates 1 and 2, and
the fifth Saturday , in those months containing it gummed vehicles with blue and termination plates 9 and 0 as well as plates lacking vehicles with numbers or permits movement.


14.2. circulation limitations set by the program "Hoy No Circula" for units not registered in the Federal District and State of Mexico are:

a) If the last digit of the license plate number is 5 or 6, the unit should stop circulating on Monday and the first Saturday of each month from 5:00 to 22:00 hours, in addition to stop flowing of the 5 : 00 to 11:00 am Tuesday through Friday.

b) If the last digit of the license plate number is 7 or 8, the unit should stop circulating on Tuesdays and the second Saturday of each month from 5:00 to 22:00 pm; well stop flowing from 5:00 to 11:00 hours on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

c) If the last digit of the license plate number is 3 or 4, the unit must leave circular on Wednesday and the third Saturday of each month from 5:00 to 22:00 hours, in addition to stop flowing from 5:00 to 11:00 hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

d ) If the last digit of the license plate number is 1 or 2, the unit should stop circulating Thursday and fourth Saturday of each month from 5:00 to 22:00 hours, besides circular stop at 5: 00 at 11:00 am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

e) If the last digit of the license plate number is 9 or 0, or registration certificate holder, the unit should stop circulating the fifth Friday and Saturday the months that include five Saturdays from 5:00 to 22:00 hours, in addition to stop flowing from 5:00 to 11:00 pm Monday through Thursday.

The restriction on the movement provided from 5:00 to 11:00 hours for this type of unit, only applies to units less than 3.5 tonnes.

Having to renew the pase turistico every six month or 14 days is not very good for us so we opted for the letter plates and adapted to the rutine, we travel to mexico at odd time sof the year and some times we only spent a few months in the US or viceversa, burocracy in Mexico can be very slow, they actualy close the government betwin X-mass and New Year, try to get a new permit then and have some cop stop you for driving onthe "wrong day", we carry copies of this ordinance and have shown the officer that we where not braking the statute, end of conversation.

for a period of seven days each.
Wow and this is just a part. Good luck
O Buena surete

Acording to the oficial site there is no pase turistico "tourist pass" all vehicles are subject to the rules, that is why my RV and my toad have a personalized plate that both end on the same letter, "A" so I can not drive on Fridays nor the last Saturday should it be 30 or 31.

I do not care to drive in Mexico's Citys congested traffic on a Friday, so we are ok with the set up, maybe you have time to get personal plates with same letters and not drive on Fridays.
