Objective

Update Ambato's Transport and Mobility Master Plan to incorporate a comprehensive urban planning approach, including multimodal and mobility improvement measures, covering all aspects of mobility and focusing on the balanced and integrated development of other means of transport

Challenges in the region

  • The private vehicle is the main mode of transport in Ambato, used by 40% of the population
  • Vehicle growth is faster than that of the population, with 180 cars per thousand inhabitants, while the national rate is 133 cars per thousand inhabitants
  • Current mobility planning must be integrated into urban planning and Ecuador's National Urban Mobility Policy, now under construction with support from EUROCLIMA+
