“…All policies definitely have had an impact, but not all have been successful. The application of car restrictions using licence plate numbers have had numerous and unexpected impacts in Latin-American cities (Davis, 2008;De Grange & Troncoso, 2011;Cantillo & Ortúzar, 2014;Medina & Velez, 2011). Such as the unintended counter-effects of the four-wheel motor vehicle restrictions, including the dramatic increase in the vehicle fleet of second cars and motorcycles in Colombian cities such as Bogotá and Medellin (Moncada & Bocarejo, 2015).…”

This paper presents the evolution of Latin-American transport policies in cities framed in terms of a conceptual model of three Stages recently developed to analyse policy initiatives in Western Europe cities, but probably suitable for developing countries. Stage one is identified as the accommodation of the steady growth of cars through urban road construction. Stage Two is connected to the improvement of public transport services and the shift to more efficient transport systems. Then Stage Three is based on concepts of liveable cities focused on wellbeing and social inclusion. Latin-American examples and specific cases of policy instruments' implementation are used to test the validity of this three-stage model in a South American context. Comparative data for different cities are presented, shows results and consequences in terms of congestion reduction, transport systems improvements and some early sustainable transport initiatives. The work depicts the evolving policies of some Latin-American cities, first implementing major road improvements, next the implementation of car controls, and then, the switch to improved public transport systems. Finally the implications for cities in developing countries for the upcoming challenges in transport policies are considered. The paper discusses whether there is or not a transition process in Latin-American urban transport policies, and their success and efficiency on a worldwide comparative basis. As will be shown in this paper, transport policies in Latin-American cities can be characterised in one of these identified Stages of the evolution. Some of them are in Stage Two, while others are still under the influence of caroriented planning in Stage One. Nevertheless, every policy instrument has impacts resulting from mutations in behaviour after years of application, and those impacts can make the difference between successful and unsuccessful transformations.

“…Both restrictions were applied according to the corresponding final digit of the number plate and operated between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Nevertheless, it was found that those combined restrictions just reduced 9.5% of the car trips per day (De Grange & Troncoso, 2011).…”

“…Quito, Ecuador, implemented a vehicle use restriction programme during peak driving (Pico y Placa) which was found to efficiently reduce emissions by between 9 and 11 per cent during peak hours and by 6 per cent during the day (see Carrillo, Malik, & Yoo, in press). In Santiago, Chile, peak-hour vehicle-use restrictions led to a shift to public transport systems as well as a shift in arrival and departure times (De Grange & Troncoso, 2011). These studies, however, tend to focus on the relatively short-term.…”

“…En 2008 el programa se amplió en la Ciudad de México también para restringir el movimiento de un sábado al mes. Otras ciudades como Santiago de Chile en los años 90´s integraron similares medidas de restricción vehicular como control de emisiones (De Grange y Troncoso, 2011). En Latinoamérica, en la ciudad de Bogotá en 1998, se aplicó por primera vez una medida de restricción tipo "push" a la entrada de vehículos a las vías urbanas conocida como "vehicle restriction" (Mahendra, 2008).…”

ResumenEste trabajo hace un aporte metodológico al análisis del impacto de políticas de transporte, utilizando métodos cuasi-experimentales comparando hogares de tratamiento y control para estimar los efectos en la motorización. La congestión vehicular y la sostenibilidad de la movilidad se han identificado como los problemas principales de las ciudades latinoamericanas. Medidas como la prohibición de la utilización del vehículo en algunas horas del día, conocidas como restricciones vehiculares, son el objetivo de esta investigación. Sin embargo, luego de años de implementadas las medidas, se observa que en lugar de contribuir a la reducción del uso del vehículo particular, éstas han promovido la compra de más automóviles. Los resultados de este trabajo sugieren que las políticas de restricción durante todo el día, como se han implementado en ciudades como Bogotá y México, han promovido la compra de más coches en los estratos más altos. Los hogares afectados por la medida muestran una tendencia de un 20% más a comprar otro vehículo cuando se comparan con hogares de una ciudad sin políticas de restricción vehicular.

Vehicle congestion and sustainability of mobility have been identified as the main problems in latin-american cities. Measures such as the prohibition of using vehicles during some periods of the day, which are known as vehicle restrictions, are the main objectives of this research. However, after several years of implementation of these measures, it is observed that vehicle restrictions have promoted the purchase of more vehicles. The results of this research suggest that all-day restriction policies as they have been implemented in cities such as Bogotá and México, instead of contributing to the reduction of the use of private vehicles have promoted the purchase of more cars among higher-income families. Families affected by the measure show a tendency of 20% more willingness to purchasing another vehicle when they are compared with households in cities without vehicle restriction policies.
