Propuesta de políticas públicas para la gestión del transporte público en el Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal del Cantón Zaruma

Abstract

Abstract: Efficient public transportation systems generate multiple benefits such as effective mobility, improved quality of life, boost economic development and contribute to the care of the environment. The objective of this research is to propose public policies to improve public transportation management in the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Zaruma Canton, in order to improve urban mobility. For its development, a quantitative approach was applied by applying surveys to the population and interviews with city authorities. The results of the application of these tools made it possible to identify deficiencies in infrastructure, route and schedule planning, and safety, which negatively affect users' confidence in public transportation. As the main product of this work, the proposal of public policies was made, which were developed under the approach of the sustainable mobility pyramid and in compliance with the provisions of the sustainable development objectives. These policies integrate the incorporation of the sustainable mobility approach, the strengthening of public transportation, the promotion of active mobility, the promotion and education for safe mobility, the improvement of infrastructure and environmental sustainability. Keywords: Public.
