Lanzarote approves six lines of aid for taxis, private buses, and electric micro-mobility

The Governing Council of the Cabildo of Lanzarote has given the green light to the modification of the regulatory bases for subsidies for the improvement of transport and mobility in Lanzarote and La Graciosa. Once approved, the process will continue.

The Minister of Transport and Mobility, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, assured that these modifications "seek to help sector professionals even more." "Through these six aids, we are committed to promoting sustainable mobility; the modernization of equipment and helping to mitigate economic difficulties in the sector, among other aspects," the minister pointed out.

Likewise, Jiménez announced that the amounts for these subsidies "will be considerably increased in relation to the previous call." Once approved by the Governing Council, the procedure will begin so that, once published in the Official Gazette of the Province, interested parties can apply for them.

Specifically, the six lines to be subsidized are divided into: Acquisition of adapted vehicles for people with reduced mobility (PRM) for the discretionary transport of passengers (taxis); Acquisition of efficient vehicles for the discretionary transport of passengers (taxis); Actions or projects for the acquisition of equipment, specialization, or modernization for the discretionary transport of passengers (taxis); Projects for the promotion of electric micromobility on the island of Lanzarote and La Graciosa; Acquisition of discretionary public transport vehicles for passengers (vehicles with more than nine seats M2 and M3); and, finally, Acquisition of discretionary public transport vehicles for goods (vehicles N2 and N3).

The deadline for submitting applications will be thirty calendar days from the day following the publication of the call in the Official Gazette of the Province of Las Palmas.
