The municipality gives organizations a list of urban mobility measures from which to choose. These can include:

  • A fixed number of measures
    • This number can vary according to certain criteria (e.g., size or location of the organization).
  • A list of measures that add up to a set point score 
    • The authority attributes a point value to each measure. The organization must select measures that add up to a minimum score. The minimum score can be based on criteria such as land use, built area, or location, among others.
  • A kit of measures
    • A kit is a bundle of measures that must be implemented together. Kits can vary according to certain criteria (e.g. size or location of the organization).

The benefit of a programmed TRO is that if an organization is implementing the chosen measures, it is complying with the policy. 

The results of the measures used are evaluated in a periodic report, which determines whether they have been effective or whether new measures are needed.
