This study utilized anonymized GPS data to analyze travel patterns across different areas in Mexico City, focusing on six suburban areas and a central area. It examined trip distances, distribution within each zone, prevalence of local trips, walkability, and access to entertainment areas within 15-minute travel zones by foot, bike, transit, and private vehicle. The study suggested potential for government intervention to improve transportation and pedestrian infrastructure in some suburban zones.

This research received support through the partnership between CAF and TUMI.
