Human Scale Mobility Program (University City)

To understand the objectives of mobility on a human scale, it is necessary to view it from two key concepts: urban connectivity and accessibility. Urban connectivity is essential for functional mobility among the university community. In accordance with the principles of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), there is a descriptive instrument called Inverted Pyramid of Mobility, which prioritizes the distribution of road space, in order to create norms and regulations that support it. This model prioritizes pedestrians, leaving mobility in private vehicles in the least relevant place. The right to free movement, especially pedestrians, must be universal, so it is necessary to give priority to access and the road system for movement.

Mobility pyramid

Regarding accessibility, the urban and landscape space must determine its operation. In accordance with the UN-HABITAT Agenda 2016, as well as the federal, state and metropolitan authorities, and finally the UANL Institutional Development Plan 2019-2030, cities must provide the necessary conditions for their communities to be beneficiaries of new forms of social inclusion, including greater equality, access to services and new opportunities, participation and mobilization that reflects the diversity of cities, countries and the world itself.

Action limits

On the campus of Ciudad Universitaria (CU) a high percentage of the population moves to and from campus, so it is of utmost importance that non-motorized mobility is prioritized on this campus. Betting on this mobility model has multiple benefits, both for the environment and for the user, since it reinforces the social fabric, also contributing to the creation of public space infrastructure, thus promoting, through urban design, cities more inclusive and sustainable.

Specific objectives

Connect the interior of the campus with the immediate context of CU, prioritizing safe pedestrian mobility.
Encourage the use of non-motorized transportation on campus to improve mobility.
Discourage car use by reorganizing parking spaces.

Generate collaboration agreements to efficiently link with key actors, including: Municipalities and State Agencies.

Policies

Programs and projects that favor the use of non-motorized means of mobility and the safety and integrity of pedestrians will be prioritized.
Non-motorized mobility will be encouraged within CU.
Connections will be implemented between agencies, as well as alternatives to promote the use and movement of non-motorized mobility.
The efficiency and safety of internal collective transportation systems will be promoted.
Projects will be promoted for the reorganization and improvement of vehicular circulation routes.
Accessibility will be promoted between campus spaces and buildings, as well as with the immediate external context.

Ordering

Planning and implementation of a support system for non-motorized mobility around the campus.
Coordinate actions between departments and faculties related to the planning, elimination and improvement of physical barriers that prevent free movement between spaces and buildings.
Coordinate with external urban transportation the planning, time programming and security of their routes that pass through CU.
Develop urban improvement actions at the entrances to the CU campus, to regulate the entry and exit of motorized means of mobility.

Planning

Promote the improvement of roads, walkways and pedestrian crossings to facilitate non-motorized movement in CU.
Promote non-motorized and zero-carbon mobility.
Promote the reorganization of spaces intended to serve motorized vehicles.
Manage the removal of obstacles, elements and/or barriers that put non-motorized mobility at risk in a safe manner, as well as universal accessibility.

Goals

Connect 70% of the interior areas of the campus through walkways and pedestrian crossings during the period 2021 – 2024.
Encourage 50% of private car users to use non-motorized means of transportation during the period 2021-2024.
Reorganize 40% of parking spaces during the period 2021 – 2024.
Generate an updated collaboration agreement with the municipality of San Nicolás de los Garza during the period 2021 – 2024.

Projects

The Human Scale Mobility Program for CU considers the development of projects such as those described below and whose priority is the safe transit of pedestrians and users on bicycles, scooters and non-motorized vehicles, adhering to the guidelines of the inverted pyramid of mobility and in line with global, national, state and local guidelines for sustainable mobility:

Pedestrian walkways

They are those spaces intended for the free movement of pedestrians, and that connect with buildings, public spaces, subway stations, buses, bicycle and scooter racks and other types of vehicles.

Therefore, these must be aligned with the design guidelines dictated by national and international agencies that promote sustainable mobility, in addition to avoiding level changes to promote inclusion and having horizontal and vertical signage that makes it easier for users to use them. effective, that satisfy the requirements of comfort (shade), security and connectivity and volume. According to the level of user flow, number of incidents and length, walkways are classified as primary and secondary.

Safe Crossings

Safe pedestrian crossings consist of level pedestrian crossings with markings on the pavement itself that delimit the priority pedestrian crossing, and that also have bollards on the sides of the streets to protect the integrity of users and to link with other spaces. of pedestrian traffic. Safe crossings must have conditions that comply with the standards of the State Technical Standard for Sidewalks of Nuevo León of the SEDUVI24, the Global Street Design Guide Manual – NACTO25, among others.

Accessibility and Inclusion in Pedestrian Spaces

Currently, there are the necessary guidelines to execute the appropriate geometric design of pedestrian, cyclist, vehicular and coexistence traffic spaces within CU, in accordance with the conditions of universal accessibility indicated by official bodies such as SEDATU, SEDUVI, ITDP, NACTO, etc. . In compliance with these standards, they must be applied in the creation and design of new spaces and for the improvement of existing ones in accordance with the following guidelines:

Non-motorized means of transportation

They are those means of mobility that do not require an engine or fuel, but rather work through human impulse. They are usually bicycles and skates.

Unibici

It is a loan program for mechanical and electric bicycles for free use within the confines of CU that consists of virtual stations strategically located for accommodation and collection. The devices must have a geopositioning system (GPS) and automated locks. The users to whom this program is directed are students, teachers and administrators of the UANL and it will be carried out free of charge.

Electric motorized means

They are all those vehicles whose displacement force depends on electricity. They are normally electric bicycles, scooters and segways, among others.

Tiger Scooters

It consists of a network of electric scooters strategically distributed on campus, powered by electricity at charging stations, and accessible to the entire university community.

Public transport

They are those means of collective, mass or rental transportation. These usually include the mass public transport system such as the subway and the service of radial, peripheral and local bus routes, urban and foreign buses and finally, public transport for rent: taxis and digital platform vehicles (Uber , DiDi, Cabify, Beat, among others).

40 routes of the public transportation feeds the surroundings of Ciudad Universitaria

Travel to and from Ciudad Universitaria is carried out mainly through means of motorized mobility. In the specific case of public transportation, there are 40 routes that feed the surroundings of CU.
