Challenge
A survey was conducted in 2018 in which Rivas residents expressed how they wanted to get around. 40% expressed that they wanted to use public transport and 42% by bicycle. But the reality is that most commuting is done by private vehicle (61%). Only 17% commute by pedestrian and another 21% by public transport.Challenges to address:Encourage active mobility and public transport as the predominant means of transport.Manage the restriction of private vehiclecirculation and parking.Change the urban planning model, pedestrianizing and naturalizing spaces and meeting places.Revitalize agingneighborhoods and vulnerable areas, making them more social, accessible and humanized.Promote energy efficiency and electrification in the use of means of transport.Low-emission zones in school environmentsThe objective of this measure is to generate emission-free, healthier and safer school environments for the children of the municipality. Each school will have on its access roads, with two lanes of traffic, a column with traffic lights with double red flashlights that will turn red when the students arrive and leave the schools. In addition, it will have variable messaging panels indicating traffic
