Cancun, Quintana Roo — Residents of Cancun took advantage of a community outreach event to voice their concerns and proposals regarding public transportation, road safety, and pedestrian infrastructure, as part of the development of the city’s Comprehensive Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PIMUS).

The Quintana Roo Mobility Institute (IMOVEQROO) set up a service booth at the Toro Valenzuela sports dome, where staff collected input from local residents on the main mobility challenges facing the city.

Among the most frequent requests were increased frequency and coverage of public transport routes, improved safety at pedestrian crossings, construction of more connected bike lanes, and greater accessibility for older adults and people with disabilities.

The institute said all information gathered will be incorporated into the participatory diagnosis for the PIMUS of the Cancun-Isla Mujeres metropolitan area. The plan will establish the mobility strategy for the 2026–2040 period and help identify travel patterns, congestion zones, and priority infrastructure needs.

Authorities said the exercise will allow them to design solutions focused on improving transport, strengthening active mobility, and building a safer and more efficient road network, based on proposals made by citizens.
