Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de alternativas de transporte sostenible en el cantón Milagro provincia del Guayas periodo 2021

Abstract

This research work aimed to elaborate a feasibility study to integrate transportation alternatives within the district of Canton Milagro, in which the current need for mobility within the urban area was analyzed by generating methodological elements for the use of public space for alternative means of transportation. To this end, a baseline variable was established by means of data collection instruments, including origin-destination surveys, which made it possible to determine that the population agrees with the adoption of mobility policies, as well as their frequency and service schedules, in accordance with the transport competencies established by the Organic Territorial Code (COOTAD). The pedestrian was prioritized. Therefore, non-motorized mobility and electro mobility were evaluated, allowing the establishment of a time frame, which, to gether with the interview with the Manager of the Public Mobility Company, revealed that there are legal aspects that prevent the execution of several of the proposed mobility policies. Then, within the propositional framework, 5 alternatives related to the transportation system were proposed, allowing the optimization of public and commercial transportation processes, as well as the alternative measures that the population has adopted as a means of displacement. It is concluded that the alternatives will be financed by a public entity under the concept of social investment without return of initial capital, and the maintenance of these policies will be overseen by the entity of the Public Mobility Company of Canton Milagro. It is recommended to carry out a study of supply and demand for post-pandemic transportation to determine the modality and type of service to be offered and those directly proportional to the service to be provided, while complying with the standards of efficiency, safety, and quality of service.
