The Mexican metropolis validated the effects, products, goals and indicators of actions to be developed within the framework of its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan.
Guadalajara, Mexico, 20 April 2022,- With the support of EUROCLIMA+, the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (GMA) is developing the updating and strengthening of its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), where a fundamental part has been the generation of spaces for consultation and participation between the different key local actors and agencies: state government, municipal governments, academia, civil society organisations, private initiative and the Metropolitan Planning Institute (IMEPLAN) as a metropolitan agent for urban mobility planning.
As part of these participatory processes, spaces such as "Agents that Propose (AQP)" and the "Route 2040" were carried out, where through working tables, problems, opportunities, considerations, measures and actions that seek to reduce the negative impacts of current mobility were discussed.
From these participatory exercises, we sought to structure in packages the most appropriate measures for the GMA context based on their acceptability, effectiveness, possible performance, contribution to the goals of the plan and efficient use of resources, so the "Participatory workshop for the prioritisation of SUMP measures" was designed and implemented on Tuesday 15 March.
The main objective of the participatory workshop for the prioritisation of SUMP measures was to strengthen and finalise the processes previously developed in the participatory construction of the Emerging Metropolitan Mobility Strategy (EMMS), as well as the prioritisation of the measures that will be part of the SUMP.
The workshop consisted of three sessions during a single working day: ¿
- Indicators and targets for measures at output level in the short, medium and long term (5, 10 and 15 years).
- First prioritisation exercise
- Indicators and targets at the line of action level in the short, medium and long term (5, 10 and 15 years).
- Second prioritisation exercise
- Identification of responsible parties.
- Third prioritisation exercise.
Six working groups were set up corresponding to each line of action adjusted to the EMMS. Each table was composed of participants related to the corresponding line of action, and the composition of the working groups was maintained for the 3 sessions of the workshop.
The lines of action worked on were as follows:
- Parking
- Traffic management
- Active mobility
- Urban logistics and rural and regional mobility
- Road safety
- Public Transport
Similarly, work was done on additional elements that needed to be defined by the workshop participants:
- Impacts, targets and indicators associated with the overall objectives, and which allow the definition of expected results at the global level.
- Outcomes, targets and indicators associated with the strategic objectives and defined for each measure.
- Outputs, targets and indicators associated with each measure.
The workshop validated the effects, outputs, targets and indicators associated with each measure, allowing participants to have a broad context for prioritising the measures, thereby identifying the direct results (outputs) and the results that can be expected from them (effects), as well as the expected targets.
This participatory session concludes the technical activities in the framework of the cooperation between IMEPLAN and the EUROCLIMA+ Programme, with the Package of Measures that will be integrated into the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, subject to approval by the Metropolitan Coordination Board, and which will set the tone for the implementation of urban mobility projects in the coming years in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area.
