The federal deputy of the PRI, Abigail Arredondo, anticipated that in the upcoming session period of the chamber of deputies, reforms to the General Mobility and Road Safety Law will be promoted to boost micromobility as a public policy.
Arredondo highlighted the need to modernize and make the mobility system in Mexico safer. In this sense, it seeks to ensure that all public works include suitable spaces for personal light vehicles such as bicycles, skates, skateboards, and scooters, guaranteeing safe, agile, and efficient transfers.
The deputy emphasized that despite the exponential growth of micromobility in regions like Europe, this type of transport has been underestimated in Mexico and much of Latin America. It is estimated that around 2.2 million people in Mexico use scooters, representing 1.7% of the population, but the lack of safe infrastructure is a barrier to its expansion.
Arredondo pointed out the importance of transforming cities and recognizing micromobility as a real solution to traffic and pollution problems. In this sense, awareness programs will be promoted to encourage the use of sustainable means of transportation and consider them a viable alternative to the traffic problems in the country.
