Cancún, October 18, 2024
Teltronic, in collaboration with the Government of the State of Quintana Roo and Comunica la Ciudad, organized the third edition of “Me Lleva el Tren,” an event that has become a key reference point for public transportation in Mexico. Its goal is to debate, analyze, share information, and promote a public agenda on the country’s rail mobility. The event, held in Cancún, was attended by more than a hundred participants, including representatives from federal, state, and municipal authorities, as well as public policy experts from the World Bank.
For Juan Ferro, Global CEO of Teltronic, the Mexican government’s commitment is “a clear sign of a vision for a connected, environmentally friendly Mexico with sustainable urban mobility,” as evidenced by the official announcement of a railway network spanning more than 3,000 kilometers over the next six years.
“This is the third edition of this forum we organize in partnership with Comunica la Ciudad, and today we are honored to hold it in this state, which hosts part of Mexico’s most ambitious mobility infrastructure project: the Tren Maya. Governor Lezama has demonstrated vision and commitment to improving the quality of life of the state’s residents through sustainable transportation,” Ferro explained.
In this context, Rodrigo Alcázar, Director of the Mobility Institute of Quintana Roo, praised the fact that the forum was being held in Cancún, as both the state and the city are experiencing a crucial moment in mobility. “The public mobility policy is a priority for Governor Mara Lezama, so having this exchange of ideas, with the presence of experts in technology, road safety, accessibility, the environment, and cycling mobility, is excellent news for us,” he said.
Alcázar opened the event with a keynote speech highlighting some of the key points in transport decision-making. The first panel discussion was titled Tren Maya: The Challenge, the First Step Toward a Rail-Focused Mexico, followed by the second panel titled Me Lleva el Tren. Where To? Technological and Budgetary Challenges of the Future on Rails. Lastly, the topic of non-motorized mobility was addressed, with an environmental, sustainable, and governance perspective, emphasizing that technology and public bicycles are crucial for consolidating comprehensive transport systems.
