UVAR

Aunque parezca algo utópico, el control del acceso de los vehiculos a la ciudad no esta alejado de la realidad que todos quisieramos vivir, ya que una politica de implementación de UVAR nos traera como resultado varios beneficios para nuestra ciudad, entre ellos menos contaminación , mejora la calidad de vida , optimiza el espacio urbano y entre otras más, todas estas siendo de carácter positivo
