What is the Foro Latinoamericano de Autoridades de Movilidad?
The Foro Latinoamericano de Autoridades de Movilidad (Latin American Forum of Mobility Authorities) is an international event focused on urban mobility and transportation, with the purpose of discussing, sharing experiences, and proposing solutions related to current and future transportation systems.
What can we expect from the Forum?
As mentioned earlier, this is not just any forum. It is an international gathering that will bring together more than 300 mobility and transportation authorities, along with specialists and key stakeholders from the sector. In addition, important guest countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Peru, and the United States, as well as Mexico, will be in attendance.
This forum is promoted by Gobernadora Mara Lezama Espinosa (Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa) and aligns perfectly with the Nuevo Acuerdo por el Bienestar y el Desarrollo de Quintana Roo (New Agreement for the Well-Being and Development of Quintana Roo). One of its main objectives is to consolidate orderly, sustained growth with shared prosperity.
When and where will the Foro Latinoamericano de Autoridades de Movilidad take place?
The Foro Latinoamericano de Autoridades de Movilidad (Latin American Forum of Mobility Authorities) will take place on February 12 and 13 at the Cancun Center, an international events venue located on Boulevard Kukulcán, Km 9, Punta Cancún, in the Hotel Zone.
This gathering is supported by international organizations such as World Resources Institute, Banco Mundial (World Bank – WB), Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (Inter-American Development Bank – IDB), Unión Internacional de Transporte Público (International Association of Public Transport – UITP), and the Agencia de Cooperación Alemana (German Agency for International Cooperation – GIZ), among other organizations.
In addition, it is important to highlight that this event is organized by the Asociación Mexicana de Autoridades de Movilidad (Mexican Association of Mobility Authorities), in coordination with the Gobierno del Estado de Quintana Roo (Government of the State of Quintana Roo).
Impact on mobility in Quintana Roo
With this strategic mobility plan, it can be said that the forum may generate a medium- to long-term impact.
How could this impact Cancún? This forum allows local authorities to compare their transportation systems with those of other Latin American cities, adopt better models, and promote more sustainable mobility through improved vehicles with lower environmental impact.
It would not only improve local mobility but also benefit the millions of tourists who visit Cancún each year, for example, through better connections to Cancún International Airport and more accessible transportation options for visitors.
Conclusion
The forum will have a structural and strategic impact. It will help Cancún and Quintana Roo design a mobility system that is more organized, sustainable, and efficient, thoughtfully planned for both residents and tourists, with strong technical and international support.
