Uso del transporte sostenible en el Ecuador periodo 2014 2022

Abstract

Abstract: The transportation and mobility model that currently prevails has focused its attention on the automobile and the expansion of highways, in order to respond to the demand for travel without considering the social and environmental costs; while the sustainable transport approach aims to interrupt current trends and reverse them, taking into account the sustainable development goals. Based on this reasoning, this research had the purpose of descriptively analyzing the practices of the use of sustainable transport in Ecuador, through a mixed research approach and documentary review. At the end of the investigation, it is concluded that the increase in the motorization rate, the variations in per capita income and the deficient public transport system have reduced the possibilities of adopting cleaner and carbon-free transport mobilities. The figures found reveal that in 2012 the percentage of the population that used public transport as the main means of mobility was 65%, and by 2022 the proportion was reduced to 52%; It was also observed that the Ecuadorian population prioritizes the need factor when choosing a means of mobility and environmental awareness in seventh place.
