Sustainable Urban Mobility in Mexico (Moverse)
Mexico is experiencing a tremendous increase of private vehicles, which is one of the most carbon intensive modes of transport.
According to the latest national inventory of GHG emissions (INECC, 2022), the transport sector is responsible for almost one-fifth of national GHG emissions.
Only a small number of cities across the country have managed to successfully implement sustainable urban mobility systems, due to factors such as short political cycles, limited funds and low prioritization of sustainable mobility in the political agenda at the subnational level, as well as local industry groups hesitant to changes in the public transport models, hinder the transformation of transport systems.
The objective of the project is to promote the implementation of sustainable and inclusive urban mobility infrastructure solutions in Mexican cities that benefit the population.
MOVERSE seeks to develop solutions at national and subnational levels and works in three components: (1) Integrated urban development, transport planning and access to finance. (2) Implementation of model projects for sustainable and inclusive transport infrastructure and (3) Development of a coordinated regulatory framework for electromobility.
The project works with the Mexican Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development (SEDATU) as the main executing partner of the project. Additionally, secondary partners for the implementation include the states of Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Estado de Mexico, as well as partners from the private sector, civil society, and academia, among other organizations.
