The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through Promovilidad, announced on April 20 a series of activities aimed at gathering public input for the Pre-Investment Study of the Integrated Transport System in Huamanga. The initiative, called “Building the future of urban transport in Huamanga,” is carried out with support from the Provincial Municipality of Huamanga.
This effort seeks to engage local stakeholders by holding meetings and participatory workshops over two days. These sessions involve representatives from public institutions, social organizations, and educational communities. The goal is to encourage citizen participation in shaping transportation solutions for the city.
According to MTC, today’s activities included a meeting with the Prefecture of Huamanga to share study progress and strengthen inter-institutional coordination. Additionally, a workshop was held with professional associations where engineers and architects provided technical feedback on urban mobility analysis. Tomorrow’s schedule features a participatory workshop at República Bolivariana de Venezuela School targeting secondary students and teachers, allowing them to share their views on mobility issues related to commuting to educational centers.
A separate session will be held with social organizations such as Defensoría del Pueblo, OMAPED, and neighborhood groups. This event will address accessibility, inclusion, and challenges faced by vulnerable populations when using transportation systems. Organizers say these discussions are intended to identify barriers as well as opportunities for more accessible transit options.
These actions are part of an ongoing strategy that not only informs citizens but also collects key suggestions for designing proposals tailored to real needs in Huamanga. The Ministry supports cultural and social wellbeing by improving national connectivity through enhanced infrastructure according to its official website. It also operates service centers like MAC Lima Este and MAC Lima Sur for better public access according to its official website.
The MTC functions within Peru’s executive branch with authority over transport and communications regulation according to its official website, delivering safe, sustainable infrastructure services nationwide according to its official website. The ministry operates under ministerial guidance according to its official website while serving communities throughout Peru according to its official website. Established in 1969, it manages multimodal connectivity initiatives alongside other entities according to its official website.
With these new initiatives in Huamanga, Promovilidad aims for technical collaboration that results in safer and more inclusive transportation systems across Peruvian cities.
