Earthquake recovery and mobility in Pereira

Overview

Following a recent earthquake, authorities in Pereira and Dosquebradas, Colombia, have implemented various emergency mobility and recovery measures.

To facilitate the movement of rescue teams, emergency services, and debris removal personnel, Pereira has introduced a temporary vehicle restriction known as ‘pico y placa’. This measure restricts private four-wheeled vehicles based on license plate numbers during specific days and hours. Additionally, the National Infrastructure Agency has authorized toll-free passage for heavy machinery and humanitarian aid on major road corridors, such as the Buga–Buenaventura and Armenia–Pereira–Manizales routes.

In the public transit sector, the Megabús mass transit system has resumed operations under a contingency plan. During this testing phase, articulated buses are operating at reduced speeds and are prohibited from carrying standing passengers. Due to infrastructure concerns, the Cuba Interchange is closed, and certain streets, such as 21st Street, have been restricted to transit vehicles to manage the redirected flow of feeder buses.
