It is complemented with face-to-face spaces for the presentation of information to the public. A guide for the implementation of green corridors and other non-motorized mobility projects with participatory models for future stages in other municipalities.
Problem
The current urban mobility system in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA) is disintegrated and unsustainable economically, socially, and environmentally, favoring individual automobile use over public and non-motorized mobility, in addition to poor road communication, road congestion in the MMA, and the lack of connection between mass transportation systems. This situation is detrimental to mental health and increases the loss of habitability of the city, causing strong negative impacts.The Integrated Sustainable Mobility Program (PIMUS for its Spanish acronym) mentions that, in the MMA, 19% of short trips made near homes are made by car. It also states that only 32% of the road infrastructure in the MMA has sidewalks that comply with state regulations, and 15% has universal access ramps for pedestrians. In addition, only 20% of the 28 kilometers of bicycle lanes in the MMA are reported to be in good condition.

Lessons from
implementation
3. Provide at least one lesson or reflection relating to the implementation of this commitment. It can be the identification of key barriers to implementation, an unexpected help/hindrance, recommendations for future commitments, or if the commitment should be taken forward to the next action plan.
The coordination carried out by the jurisdictions is worthy of recognition, however, it also has a degree of complexity, which was reflected in the implementation of the commitment. One aspect to consider is that this commitment can be reconsidered and, if necessary, implemented in the next local action plan, specifically delimiting the course of action to follow.
