Further, the BLISTT Governing Board also directed local governments to submit their plans on the enactment of their own clean air ordinances and for the enactment of legislations covering the implementation of carless days in their areas of jurisdiction.

The board also requested local governments, agencies, instrumentalities and state universities and colleges implementing carless days in their offices to submit a detailed report on the effects of the implementation of the said measure for the better appreciation of other local governments and agencies that have yet to put in place their carless days.

The BLISTT Governing Board is composed of local government units, regional directors of regional line agencies and officials of instrumentalities and SUCs in the BLISTT area.

Initially, the local governments that started implementing carless days in their municipal compounds are La Trinidad and Sablan while the agencies and SUCs that started doing so include the Cordillera offices of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Environmental Management Bureau (EMB-CAR), Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB-CAR) University of the Philippines College Baguio (UPCB) and the Benguet State University (BSU).

Baguio City started the implementation of carless day within the city hall premises every Monday but local legislators decided to stop the implementation of the same because of the alleged inconveniences that it caused them and to the public transacting business with the local government offices.

The BLISTT Governing Board was presided by EMB-CAR Regional Director Maria Victoria Abrera who underscored the importance of reviewing the implementation of carless days in the different parts of the BLISTT and assess the innovations that could be introduced to convince more people to comply with the implementation of carless days beneficial in contributing to efforts in reducing pollutants in the environment.
