26. II MUSAL Summit
of Latin American
Leading Cities on
Sustainable Urban
Mobility
Mexico City 2015:
August 7th 2015

28. Topic of the II MUSAL Summit:
“Integrated Transport Systems: Quality,
Health and Competitiveness”

29. Questions to elaborate on “ITS: Quality,
Health and Competitiveness”
1. Why do we need to have a vision for our city and why do we need to aim for a
high quality of life in order to frame the right Integrated Transport System?
2. How can an ITS help to improve the health, quality of life and environment in the city?
How do we quantify the lives lost and the negative impact upon health and environment by
the absence of a good ITS? How do we jointly mobilize the sectors of public health,
environment, and urban mobility in order to push forward the best solutions?
3. How can an Integrated Transport System help to improve the efficiency and
competitiveness of a city? How do we quantify losses in efficiency, productivity,
employment and opportunities for investment because of the lack of a good ITS? How do
we mobilize communities to seek urban mobility and corporate private businesses to
promote the best solutions?
4. What attributes should characterize the infrastructure, fleet and technology of an ITS
with high quality service "door to door" solutions for everyone? Are
indispensable subways and "full BRT" necessary in order to have a high quality ITS? How do
we get the highest quality subways and BRT’s to extend to the entire city through the ITS?
How do we integrate existing motorized and non-motorized systems?

30. 5. What authority is required in an urban conglomerate to efficiently and soundly
manage a successful high-quality ITS? How should a national public urban mobility system
be structured so that it allows society to have this fundamental social right?
6. What attributes should characterize operators and collecting companies of an ITS to
enable quality service? What attributes should characterize concession contracts of
operation and collection of an ITS to stimulate a virtuous shared responsibility of public
agencies and private companies? What key quality indicators should be included in
contracts? How do we focus on quality contracts that are fulfilled effectively? What are the
key factors for a successful business transition towards a good Integrated Transport System?
7. Which financial model is the most appropriate in order to ensure universal
coverage and a high-quality ITS, which is managed transparently and efficiently? How do we
estimate the costs and fares? How do we define and commit resources? How do we include
adequate funding for urban mobility in the budgetary legal framework of the country?
8. How do we reach the broadest citizen sectors so they participate actively and massively
in the definition and implementation of urban mobility as a fundamental social right? How
do we structure a powerful coalition of all stakeholders in improving public transport and of
the whole of urban mobility? What mechanisms for social participation and
oversight are conducive to ensuring the implementation an ITS, which delivers quality
services with adequate fares and access for all? What indicators the citizens have to handle
to demand quality services from providers?
