“We successfully culminated the Mobility Forum, a forum in which we discussed several aspects that all of us who are actors on the road, whether we are cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, or drivers of public or private service vehicles, have to reflect on,” highlighted Secretary Alvarez.
“We want road safety conditions to improve for everyone. In this forum, we have discussed strategies, points of view, reflections on the accident rate in our city, but also on the regulation we make with the agents,” he stressed.
The First Social Manager of the municipality, Juliana Londoño Villa, also representing the Mayor’s Office of Manizales, addressed the issue of road safety education at home, highlighting the importance of teaching values and safe behavior on the roads from the family.
