Distribution for “Hoy no Circula” start on Monday

The government has announced that as of Monday March 31st the distribution of the Hoy no Circula stickers will begin in different government offices so that this measurement can start functioning on April 7th.

The controversial disposition of the Executive has been questioned by different sectors considering this measure as unconstitutional since it restricts the circulation of vehicles, because with this automobiles with particular and government plates can only circulate six days a week.

The exceptions to this measure are the vehicles used by public transportation and production activities such as agriculture, farming and industries as well as the vehicles designated to ENEE, Hondutel and SANAA.

The minister of the presidency Enrique Flores Lanza and the INE director explained in a press conference that the stickers will be distributed in the different government offices as of march 31st, starting with plates ending in numbers one and two, Tuesday plates ending in three and four, Wednesday plates ending in five and six, Thursday plates ending in seven and eight, and Friday nine and zero.

They will then distribute the remaining stickers on Saturday April 5th to those who did not get their sticker during the week. Whoever fails to obey this measure will be sanctioned with a fine of 480 lempira’s the first time, double this amount on the second time and triple the third time.

Over 350 thousand stickers have been printed and can be picked up at any of the various offices by the vehicle owner or anyone else presenting the vehicle’s documents, I.D. or drivers license.
The government will train 500 civil employees that will be in charge of the distribution of these stickers at the 171 offices of the state.

According to a poll taken by the National Institute of Polls (INE) in Tegucigalpa, 19 percent of Hondurans will choose Mondays to not circulate, 15 percent on Tuesday, 13.2 percent on Wednesday, 7.2 percent on Thursday, 8.6 percent on Friday and 17.1 percent on Saturday. 19.1 percent have yet to decide.

The Hoy no Circula stickers will be distributed in all government offices nation wide from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
