The Cabildo of Lanzarote has approved the call for subsidies aimed at improving transport and mobility on the island of Lanzarote and La Graciosa, with a total allocation of 260,000 euros, an initiative that seeks to promote the modernization of the taxi fleet and guarantee a more accessible, sustainable and efficient public transport service.
The president of the Cabildo, Oswaldo Betancort, has underlined the importance of these aids to advance in the renewal of the vehicle fleet on the island. "Our commitment is to promote modern transport adapted to the needs of our citizens and facilitate the possibility for professionals in the sector to renew their vehicles, prioritizing those that are efficient and adapted to people with reduced mobility," Betancort pointed out.
For his part, the Minister of Transport and Mobility, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, stressed that these subsidies represent a step forward in improving the transport service on the island. "With this call, we encourage the incorporation of less polluting and more accessible vehicles, aligning ourselves with the objectives of sustainability and improving the quality of life of our citizens and visitors," explained Jiménez.
