Sofia's 'big' low-emission zone launches December 1 to combat pollution

Sofia will enforce expanded low-emission zone restrictions affecting heavily polluting vehicles, according to Deputy Mayor Nadezhda Bobcheva during a broadcast appearance. The regulation bars older vehicle categories from entering the broader perimeter while authorities pursue complementary environmental strategies.

Municipal officials partnered with Air for Health to distribute school guides addressing pollution response protocols, indoor air quality improvements, and outdoor exercise timing recommendations. Parking rate increases in blue and green zones aim to cut circling traffic by up to 30 percent as drivers search for spaces.

A 6 million leva initiative will install vegetation along major thoroughfares and create a living facade at First City Hospital. The North Park will gain a specialized children's recreation area featuring potted trees and misting technology.
