From Friday 27 May, the Formentera Office of Mobility will start an information campaign calling on residents, summer workers and companies to register and obtain accreditation to bring, drive and park their vehicles on the island during enforcement of formentera.eco, in effect from 15 June to 15 September this year.

"Blue zone parking attendants will leave flyers on cars, motorcycles and other vehicles in towns across the island indicating whether their authorisation is active or not. If not, they are asked to complete the necessary steps online at www.formentera.eco", as explained by Rafael González, Councillor of Mobility.

The campaign will last roughly 20 days, until 15 June, when attendants begin enforcing the rules. The flyers used by the company are made of recycled paper. "Since we can't contact all motorists on the island, we have decided to carry out this campaign at street level flyers", said Councillor González.

No charge for residents, seasonal workers and companies

Accreditation is free for residents, seasonal workers and companies. A total of 7,505 resident vehicles (whose drivers either have blue zone parking accreditation in force or pay the local road tax) have already been cleared to be brought, driven and parked on the island during the regulatory period.

To see whether the authorisation is in force, motorists can visit a dedicated section of www.formentera.eco where they need only report their vehicle plate number. Individuals who do not meet the above requirements must apply for accreditation on the website. "This measure is about preserving the environment and the tranquility of the island", asserted the councillor, who praised islanders for their collaboration "making Formentera a more sustainable island".
