Mobility Plan
In this context, the councillor recalled that the Town Hall is working on the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PMUS), which is now in its final drafting stage after completing the analysis and citizen participation phases. Only the final review remains before implementation. In fact, Mata highlighted that "the technicians and the responsible department are already working on it, taking note of what we need to implement in Mijas for this plan, which is currently being drafted and will soon become a reality. The plan will include an analysis and diagnosis of everything we can put into operation in Mijas”.
The plan is a strategic document that sets out a series of measures and actions to improve transport in the city, prioritising walking, cycling, and public transport over private vehicles. Its goal is to achieve efficient, safe, accessible, and inclusive mobility that reduces emissions, improves air quality, promotes a healthy lifestyle, and enhances citizens’ quality of life, while balancing economic development with respect for the environment.
In the case of Mijas, the current situation of both pedestrian and vehicle traffic has been studied to develop short- and medium-term measures that ensure adequate and sustainable mobility, allowing pedestrians and vehicles to coexist safely and harmoniously
