The intention is to contribute to combat climate change by reducing GHG and contaminant emissions generated by public passenger transportation, by replacing obsolete medium and low-capacity units by high-capacity buses and with state-of the art technology, to obtain improvements in air quality, health conditions and quality of life. This
addressing the public passenger transportation needs along the main
transportation corridors of the city, providing a system that decreases
travel times and improves the quality of current services. Also, it also seeks to give priority to public passenger transportation, replacing current schemes by a high-capacity intensive service and equipped with infrastructure for efficient operation and accessible to any user.

Improve, in terms of coverage and quality, the attention to social demonstrations
on public roads in Mexico City, in order to reduce impacts on mobility and the environment. Since the creation of the Urban Coexistence Specialized Unit (UECU) in
2007, which aims to reduce the time of attention to social demonstrations
that occur on public roads, through the creation of five corridors (Reforma Corridor, South area Corridor, North area Corridor, East Corridor, West Corridor), the time of attention has been reduced in 50% (from 40 min. to 20 min. in average for the time of arrival of personal with
attention proposal), the time it takes for personnel of the DGCPyASyC
to move to the conflict place

Implement environment friendly technologies in all the actions taken in the park, according to the vision and mission of San Juan de Aragon Park to contribute to reducing GHG generation.Reduce by 80% the waste transported out of the park in the medium term, and use them for the generation of compost to improve soil and vegetation. Reduce the number of trips of internal combustion vehicles to the waste transfer plant and use plant, thus decreasing GHG gases by this concept.

Save electric power during operation of trains by reducing the guide bar supply voltage, taking advantage of the electric power generated by trains during braking; modification of typical running parameters during the drive phase of trains on the routes from one station to another; optimization of service polygons maintaining the balance between supply and demand, in addition to safety and efficiency levels in the service. Also, upgrade the traction-braking system of the batch of 25 MP-82 model trains in Line 8. This is accomplished by replacing the existing system by a new system with microprocessor- based control equipment and power electronics based on insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).

On 2012, there is a progress of 85% in meeting the goals, where maintenance
has been performed in little over 9,000 electromechanical
components (motor-pump-transformer). Electromechanical efficiency has been increased in 34 pumping plants
by replacement of low efficiency electromechanical equipments (20 to
50 years old). Operation of generator sets has been ensured in order to
cover electric power outages of the supply company, thus preventing
possible flooding; failures were corrected in regulation gate systems.
Also, this allowed to stop payment for penalizations and fines imposed
by the electric power supply company, by correcting the power factor
to 0.95.

With the changes made in the second semester of year 2008, private vehicles of model years that were incorporated into the program went from 10 to 8 years old; also, it was extended to Saturdays, therefore, starting this year the trend increase of CO2 emissions reduction was higher, up to year 2011; by implementation of the No Driving Day Program (PHNC), emission to the atmosphere of almost 545,000 tons of carbon dioxide was stopped, for an increase of 52% in the program efficiency from year 2007 to 2011; 41% of this reduction corresponds to the new changes
made to the program in the current administration.

Increase bike intermodality. This intermodality will be promoted mainly with the public transportation network through an efficient
transportation alternative. This system allows having a bike available in different bicycle stations
in the origin-destination, supporting more efficient trips by users by generating a faster and economic mobility option. This
contributes to increased bicycle trips in the city. Providing the city with an individual efficient
and non-polluting transportation alternative helps to reduce
the distance of trips made in polluting transportations options, in the medium and long term.

Over the years, the main concern of the city government has been encouraging a separate
collection process with public participation to consolidate the environmental impact, together
with the use of waste that avoids or decreases gradually the final disposal in landfill cells, usingtechnologies for organic waste recovery and recyclable or reusable products. The Ministry of Works and Services through the General Department of Urban Services, has
been the Administrative Unit responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Bordo
Poniente Landfill Stage IV; however, this space served its useful life in December 19, 2011,
therefore, from this date, urban solid waste generated in Mexico City is sent for final disposal
to authorized sites in the State of Mexico.

The purpose of the program is to maintain the vehicle fleet of Mexico City and the metropolitan zone in optimum conditions, through semiannual inspection of contaminant emissions, to achieve an adequate energy and environmental performance. Vehicle verification has been strengthened applying more stringent
emission limits for gasoline units in circulation since year 2007, and from July 2008, with a new procedure and new emission limits for diesel-powered units. In addition to the semi-annual update of the Vehicle Verification Program, work has been carried out on the development of new vehicle verification equipment, where the software and hardware will allow to maintain better control, both in the vehicle verification process as well as with the actors involved in it, such as equipment vendors, owners of verification centers, and verification technicians. Replacement of equipment began in the second half of 2011, and operation of all verification centers with the new equipment is expected on July 2012 (GDF-09).
