Abstract

The objective of this research was to design a sustainable mobility plan that helps to strengthen transportation, traffic and road safety together with the preservation of the environment in the urban area of Guamote canton. The research was developed through the establishment of objectives, thus obtaining a diagnosis of the current situation for the design of a sustainable mobility plan for the urban area of Guamote canton, carrying out the implementation, evaluation and adjustment of the sustainable mobility plan required by the canton. This allowed to diagnose the problem of the study through the division into parts letting to know the causes and effects in the main axes of the research such as: Land Transportation, Transit and Road Safety and with it possible hypotheses that contain the solutions to the found problems were presented; in addition, it was intended to know the consequences and effects that generate mobility problems in the urban area of Guamote canton, as well as to relate it to the care of the environment. As a result, in terms of road safety, the canton lacks a road safety plan, since there are no actions to ensure optimum safety for citizens. The canton is generating proposals and therefore the Subdirección de Transporte Terrestre, Tránsito y Seguridad Vial together with the environmental department generate public spaces that contribute to better mobility, which is focused on sustainability for better progress of the canton, therefore it is concluded that alternative solutions should be established based on regulations to regulate the mobility of Guamote canton. It is recommended the timely implementation of each of the strategies established in this study for a better mobility in the sectors of the canton.
