📋 Tender Overview
This Friday morning, the 'Metro Transforma' project was launched, a joint initiative between the Metropolitan Public Company Metro of Quito and the Metropolitan Control Agency to turn offenders into promoters and defenders of the city.
Through community work in the stations and their surroundings, those citizens with sanctioning processes, whether inside or outside the Metro, will participate in activities aimed at the recovery of public space in the area of ??influence of this transportation subsystem and support with the dissemination of Metro Culture.
For Fernanda Racines, “the first 15 people who begin their process are part of the change, because they go from offenders to ambassadors of Metro Culture, to guide and teach the rest of the citizens.”
For her part, Lira Villalba highlighted that, “so far in 2024, through these programs, 40 points in the Metropolitan District have been intervened, covering parks and sidewalks, and nearly 800 hours of community work have been assigned to sanctioned citizens. ”.
For all this, 'Metro Transforma' is one of the pillars in the 'Metro School' framework, the citizen education proposal that, with a rights-based approach, allows people who have pending sanctioning processes to submit to the modality of community work can carry out their activities in the Metro Zones.
Finally, Víctor Hugo Villacrés explained that beyond sanctions, the municipal administration believes that education, affection, awareness and co-responsibility are the tools to build community, progress and happiness for all Quiteños.
