Victorias City goes car-free every first Monday of each month

BACOLOD CITY (PNA) – The City of Victorias in Negros Occidental is implementing a “car-free day” every first Monday of the month starting this October to reduce air pollution and promote a healthier environment for its residents.

Mandated by City Ordinance 2023-59, approved by Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez last month, the city government has designated car-free zones where entry and operation of vehicles are restricted or completely prohibited.

It added that by implementing car-free measures, the city government aims to encourage alternative modes of transportation such as walking, cycling, public transit, and carpooling. Every first Monday of the month, these areas will be exclusively accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized means of transportation to promote sustainable mobility, reduce air pollution, and foster a greener environment, the ordinance said.
