The achieved results show that the users’ needs are not covered, both in quality of service, transport units with cutting-edge technology and environmentally friendly, stops and non-inclusive transport units, updated routes based on the growth of the city, among others. On the other hand, it was determined that there are problems in relation to other axes of mobility such as the inadequate use of parking public spaces, lack of road maintenance, lack of socialization and encouragement for the use of public transport and non-motorized means of transport with the purpose of reducing the use of private vehicles. Based on the obtained analysis and diagnosis, strategies were established such as road maintenance plans, standardization of signage, encouraging the use of public transportation, socialization for users and operators, creation of infrastructure for public parking outside the road space, among others. Therefore, it is concluded that the strategies have a focus on improving mobility in general in Riobamba, mainly to support sustainable and environmentally friendly public transportation, thus the application of each strategy is recommended since it will benefit to all individuals immersed in mobility such as users, transporters, and inhabitants from the city.
