Plan de Movilidad para Instituciones de Educación Media, período 2019-2022.

Abstract

The Mobility Plan for Secondary Education Institutions aims to reduce road accidents suffered by a fragment of the population that circulate daily exposed to road insecurity, vehicular congestion and with an inefficient public transport; problems that are increasing and which involve several risk factors to those who frequent the urban area of Riobamba along the work-days in which they travel to these attractor centers. It has been considered to the Unidad Educativa Santo Tomás Apóstol from Riobamba to develop a case study, since it fits common characteristics with other educational institutions in the locality. The School Mobility Plan can be extended to other institutions of secondary education, which are worried about the life and well-being of its educational community. The international standard ISO 9001 which stands the quality management and is based on the cycle of continuum improvement was taken as a reference. A survey was applied to 525 people in the educational community and a thorough documentary investigation was carried out, the results revealed that 63.8% of students and 60.3% of teachers move in private vehicles, an indicator that shows the disorder and vehicular congestion. The creation of a sustainable mobility committee is proposed to manage the means and resources and so foster a more conscious mobility by its actors; for this, it is necessary to apply and comply with the ten programs and actions proposed in the mobility plan, which should be developed in defined terms according to its indicators that allow to monitor, evaluate and project towards the continuous improvement of the plan.
