Mexico’s capital city, Mexico City, is home to nearly nine million people. Although living in Mexico City provides residents with employment, recreational, and lifestyle opportunities they wouldn’t get elsewhere, transportation has become an issue for countless Mexico City residents.
Daniel Madariaga Barrilado notes that, according to a Journal of Transport Economics and Policy study from 2018, roughly 15% of Mexico City’s traffic congestion comes solely from drivers looking for parking spaces. This is one of many examples the smart city expert uses to describe the sustainability issues that Mexico City faces. He’s one of Mexico City’s biggest advocates for the citywide adoption of mobility as a service.

Mobility as a service (MaaS) refers to consolidating existing forms of transportation into a single on-demand service that will improve efficiency, reduce transportation costs, cut pollution, and improve sustainability. One of Daniel Madariaga Barrilado’s favorite MaaS solutions is the automated parking structure.
Why Are Automated Parking Structures Important?
Modern parking garages are wildly inefficient. Finding parking spaces would be easier with automated parking garages. These structures would also take up less room.
Daniel Madariaga Barrilado believes these structures would reduce Mexico City residents’ work commutes and improve residents’ overall quality of life.
