The Mexican Association of Mobility Authorities (AMAM) , together with the  National Association of Bus, Truck and Tractor-Trailer Manufacturers (ANPACT) , the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the government of Quintana Roo  convened the Latin American Forum of Mobility Authorities , a regional meeting aimed at strengthening public decision-making in matters of transport and mobility.

The forum, which will take place on February 12 and 13 in Quintana Roo , will bring together more than 300 specialists and federal, state and municipal authorities from Mexico and 10 other Latin American countries.

Its focus is primarily on officials responsible for designing, regulating and operating mobility systems , as well as strategic actors involved in their implementation.

The Latin American Forum of Mobility Authorities seeks to delve deeper into real-world planning, regulation, and implementation processes, going beyond general assessments. The agenda includes approximately 30 keynote addresses, technical panels, and case study sessions, with the aim of reviewing comprehensive experiences, from institutional design to the daily operation of transportation systems.

The program places authorities from all three levels of government at the center of the discussion, integrating the participation of specialists, the heavy vehicle automotive industry, transport operators, technology solution providers, development banks, multilateral organizations, academia, and civil society.

Diego Monraz, president of AMAM, noted that the forum emerged as a space driven by the authorities themselves to strengthen the quality of public decisions through the exchange of real-world experiences and peer learning. Meanwhile, Albania González, executive secretary of AMAM, emphasized that the value of the meeting lies in its technical focus and the possibility of adapting solutions to different state and municipal contexts.

Rafael Hernández Kotasek, director of the Quintana Roo Mobility Institute , emphasized that the forum will allow for the sharing of challenges faced by entities undergoing transformation processes in their mobility models. From WRI Mexico, Angélica Vesga highlighted that the organization’s participation focuses on providing technical evidence to strengthen the institutional capacities of the authorities.

From the industrial sector, Rogelio Arzate, executive president of ANPACT, emphasized that the transformation of transportation systems requires informed and viable public decisions , accompanied by the technical participation of the industry. He added that the forum allows authorities to learn from operational experiences that can facilitate better policy implementation.

Access to the forum will be free for previously registered public officials, and will include spaces for technical collaboration and specialized analysis.
