urban mobility in the Greater Valparaiso

When an analysis of the results of the implementation of transport policies and mobility in the Greater Valparaiso, we find unsatisfactory situation for those who have seen increased travel times as traffic accidents are becoming more frequent. Quality of life has clearly been decreasing as a function of the large "blocks" in the rush hour on a road network that despite having a centralized control of traffic lights (UOCT) , which strictly speaking is in charge of distributing the priorities throughout the signalized network, for total system costs are the lowest, but delays are increasing without a solution in sight.
national transportation policy, one of its parts aims to favor mass transit systems of people, however as a result of unsuccessful applications for different governments, which has increased the number of cars and park collective taxi.

Ultimately the implementation of the concession system of roads for public transport has failed when implementing transport policy promoting the use of buses, use of old rolling stock, with narrow aisles, drivers with variable income which results in " collereo "turns the system on a transport offer bad and dangerous, so it is more convenient for the user Collective Taxi service and car owners.

This result is logical if we consider the negative externalities of car use does not absorb the car owner, but the entire community that suffers from congestion vehicular and noise pollution and environmental .

Another alternative for urban mobility, which apparently is not in any management policy agenda is the use of bicycles as a means of local transportation. In our cities there cicleteros crowded at the point of destination, without some way of guarding the city plan the invasion of the automobile, through proper road hierarchically so that transform the road network in an area of \u200b\u200bexclusive use of the car, the consequent danger to pedestrian and bicycle mobility. Ro folder of both road and sidewalk are no longer being suitable for walking or for the movement of bicycles, because with the amount of existing pits and ridges walk or cicletear is highly dangerous.

public bicycle use in the central region of Valparaíso, Viña del Mar Quilpue or German Villa is perfectly suited to your application. The integrated transport system lifts ( Valparaiso came to have 16 lifts operating ), metro, public bikes transvalparaiso and could generate a great transformation in urban mobility Valparaíso metropolitan area in order to make a city more friendly and human scale, but we do not see even the remotest idea of \u200b\u200bimplementing a similar solution.

bases to carry out a second Transvalparaiso experience are in full development by the Regional SEREMITT , unfortunately, the definition of the transportation service required by the community, newly built four walls, among technocrats who do not return to their homes in "micro", so that missing public participation in defining the standard of service and only users can bus I know where "the shoe pinches."
