Overview
- About 300 of the 1,936 registered franeleros have joined the voluntary training and labor‑orientation workshops, according to the city’s Labor Secretariat.
- Recent reforms to the Ley de Cultura Cívica penalize reserving or charging for parking with 24 to 36 hours of detention, but enforcement remains on hold by order of the city’s head of government until affected workers are informed.
- Participants have come largely from the Cuauhtémoc borough, with roughly 40% older adults and, within that group, 20% women.
- Authorities are coupling trainings with job placement, support for productive projects, and options to form cooperatives for services like car washing.
- Outreach will expand in high‑traffic areas such as Estadio Azteca, Magdalena Mixhuca and hospital zones in Tlalpan, with extra sessions planned before mass events like the 2026 World Cup.
