On June 25, Uzbekistan is holding a 'Car-Free Day' campaign across all regions. For civil servants, the event now comes with strict restrictions. Using official vehicles is now considered a violation of service ethics and may lead to disciplinary action.

The campaign is part of the 'Clean Air' project. Since May 1, such days have been held regularly on the 10th and 25th of each month.

According to the established procedure, civil servants are prohibited from using official vehicles on the day of the campaign. However, if the event falls on a working day, drivers of official cars will retain their full salaries.

Violating the ban is officially equated to non-compliance with service ethics requirements. In such cases, heads of state bodies are obliged to take disciplinary measures against violators.

Control over implementation is entrusted to a special commission, whose decisions are binding on all state bodies, legal entities, and individuals. The commission also has the right to impose restrictions on traffic.

Authorities emphasize that the campaign aims to reduce emissions, promote public transport, and foster ecological habits. On the day of the event, mass walks, educational activities, and other environmental initiatives are planned.

It is worth recalling that the practice of 'Car-Free Day' in Uzbekistan was established back in 2024.
