Civil servants have to leave their cars at home today

Uzbekistan is holding a Car-Free Day across the country on Tuesday, 10 November. Civil servants face penalties for driving that day, while everyone else is urged to switch to public and green transport.

The campaign is taking place in all regions of the country, the Ecology Committee said.

Such days are held on the 10th and 25th of every month. They were introduced by a presidential decree of 25 March 2026 on the Clean Air project to cut vehicle emissions and get people used to public and environmentally friendly transport.

Civil servants who drive on the day of the campaign will face penalties. Organisations and residents are urged to use public transport and electric vehicles more often.

In June, officials were banned from using official cars during the campaign, and in August it was held again.
