The Department of Public Works has formalised the incorporation of eight entities into the Pact for Sustainable Mobility, which now has 25 members. The aim is to move towards a more accessible and efficient transport model in the archipelago.
The Department of Public Works, Housing and Mobility of the Government of the Canary Islands has celebrated a new day of memberships to the Pact for Sustainable Mobility of the Canary Islands, where eight entities have formalised their incorporation into this initiative. With these new signatures, the pact reaches 25 members among entities and individuals, consolidating itself as an open space for collaboration to transform mobility in the archipelago.
Among the new members are the Business Association of the Arinaga Industrial Zone (AENAGA), the International Institute of Shared Value, the Shared Value Business Chair, Innovation and Sustainability of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), Radio ECCA Fundación Canaria, the Provincial Association of Multiple Sclerosis (APEM), the Town Hall of Vega de San Mateo, the Fundación Canaria Pequeño Valiente and the Fundación Trib-Arte.
The General Director of Transport and Mobility, María Fernández, highlighted that each new membership demonstrates that the pact responds to a need shared by society. "Today we expand this alliance with entities that represent very diverse fields, but share the conviction that mobility is a key element in building a more equal, more opportunity-filled and better quality of life in the Canary Islands," she stated.
Fernández emphasised that the goal of the Government of the Canary Islands is to continue incorporating administrations, companies, universities and social organisations to turn the pact into a permanent space for collaboration. "Sustainable mobility is not built solely from administrations. We need to add knowledge, experience and commitment," she pointed out.
The General Director also stressed that the pact constitutes a tool to strengthen societal participation in the design of public mobility policies. "We want this pact to continue growing because the more voices that are part of it, the stronger the response we will give to the challenges of mobility in the Canary Islands," she added.
During the event, the signing entities agreed that mobility is an essential element to guarantee equal opportunities and social cohesion in a fragmented territory like the Canary Islands. They highlighted the importance of the pact fostering collaboration between administrations, companies, universities and social organisations to promote solutions adapted to the island's reality, removing barriers to transport access.
With these eight new memberships, the pact totals 25 entities and individuals. They join those formalised in the first event by Fundación Nos Movemos, ALSA Canarias, the Labour Foundation of Construction, ASTRACAN, CEF Ports of Las Palmas, Veterans of the Pilar, Fundación Quantum, Charter 100 Canarias and Fundación Lucas Bosch.
The Pact for Sustainable Mobility of the Canary Islands keeps the membership process open for new public administrations, companies, universities, social organisations, collectives and citizens to join this initiative. Memberships can be formalised through the sustainable mobility website of the Canary Islands.
The General Director reminded that the Government of the Canary Islands continues to advance in the processing of the future Sustainable Mobility Law of the Canary Islands, which will provide the archipelago with its own regulatory framework to plan mobility from a comprehensive perspective. "The future law will be the instrument that consolidates this long-term vision," she concluded.
For the Canary Island reader, this news represents a step towards a more accessible and efficient transport system, with the participation of local entities such as the Town Hall of Vega de San Mateo or the ULPGC. The future sustainable mobility law will directly affect the daily movements of citizens, making these memberships a further step towards its implementation.
