An interview was conducted with a professional from the traffic Management and Control department, Land Transportation and Road Safety, Director of Mobility, Transit and Land Transportation of the Decentralized Autonomous Municipal Government of Alausi, to know his criteria with respect to the plans, programs and draft projects corresponding to the Mobility Plan under study. Thirty-two indicators were selected for analysis considering the seven programs that are part of the plan and the results indicate a low investment in projects to improve pedestrian and vehicular mobility, as well as the lack of supervision, monitoring and control of the recommendations, which generates that the perception of citizens is moderately satisfactory about the state of roads, sidewalks, parking lots, traffic at rush hours, public transportation service, horizontal and vertical signage.
