Establish a new schedule for driving restrictions for public transport and taxis with the purpose of reducing the levels of contamination. The application of the measure extends territorially and in time the modification is very little. In numerical terms about 12 thousand vehicles will stop circulating each day. The same double-digit chronology is maintained per day, so that the kilometer speed improves and can reach 70/80 kilometers per hour. In addition, the priority is to improve working from home, promote proper driving, clean technologies in vehicles and environmental responsibility. All this in order to generate a process of cultural change and environmental improvement in the city of Ibagué. The results that continuously deliver the analyzers of the entity, indicate that the hours of highest concentration of particulate matter during the day are in the hours of 7 and 9 am and 6 and 8 pm, with Wednesday being the highest concentration , in comparison with the other days where the measurement of the peak and plate is used.

The reorganization of the service implies; delete, modify, cut, merge, splice or extend the current routes, without there being limitations of length, travel and / or level of service. Also modify the frequencies, schedules and class, transport capacity and number of vehicles. With this measure were reduced from 1030 bus today operate 804 average week, on weekends and holidays 704 buses in circulation. This generates an incentive for society in mobility, quality of transport service, preventive maintenance of buses, less accident, efficient reduction of co2, and a better quality of life for citizens. This also generates an efficient and organized transition in the city. As a complementary action, the Secretary of Transit, Transportation and Mobility started a process of removal of routes and modifications of the existing (31) sections of the city center, so that it generates an improvement from mobility, transportation service and environmental quality in the reduction of Co2.

Monitor 24 hours a day the air quality that the citizens breathe through:
• Emissions allowances
• Data obtained from Ibague's air quality verification system
• Follow-up to the diagnostics of the automotive center
Operative in the roads of Tolima. It has a network to verify the quality of air, composed by 2 monitors and a particle analyzer of less than 10 microns, which measure how much "dust" there is in the atmosphere. One is located at the central headquarters, another at the Carretas Police Station and the third at the premises of the former Transit and Mobility Secretariat of Ibagué. In the case of the analyzer, the concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere can be established in real time. The increase in particle concentrations for the case of Ibagué could be demonstrated in 2014, at that time the average PM10 (particulate material) was 26.04 and for 2016 recorded an average of 34.6. However, good air quality is also reflected by the scarce presence of industries, making private vehicles, public service and motorcycles the largest pollutants for the city.
The municipality of Ibagué is committed to actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change, which is why it is implementing the change of the lighting of public lighting by LED light bulbs, the increasing increase of the Ibaguereña population, has caused more energy is demanded for to satisfy the need for public lighting, thus causing greater wear on the public resource and increased carbon footprint, accompanied by rising urban temperature. The move to LED technology, offers us greater energy efficiency, which allows meeting the need for public lighting by reducing energy consumption and reducing the temperature of the urban area.
At present in the municipality of Ibagué have been changed 2,828 luminarias and by 2019 are intended to have 100% of public lighting with LED technology (41,910 luminarias).
Although Ibague is a region where agricultural production is its economic pillar there are viable economic alternatives such as subsistence mining since this region is densely rich in mining resources. It is estimated that about 2,000 people depend on these activities.
On the other hand, it is estimated that a large part of these subsistence miners are neither formalized nor legalized, which makes their situation even more complex because they are not visible to the institutions and their social assistance projects. The low level of income also generates a series of unsatisfied basic needs, such as the low level of access to the education system, health services and a high environmental impact resulting from poor productive practices.
The Ibague administration focuses its efforts with the institutional articulation to develop the strategies set forth in the 2014 - 2018 Mining Policy established by the National Government in relation to subsistence mining: support for the regularization of subsistence activity; diagnosis of subsistence mining in the national territory and best practices in subsistence mining
From the Secretary of Transit, Transportation and Mobility at the head of the Operational Direction, we are looking to develop a city for people that promotes life and harmony with nature. In that sense, NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORT is a mobility option that MUST BE a priority for the City, since it represents insurmountable benefits in terms of POLLUTION, HEALTH, EFFICIENCY, ACCESSIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY, INCLUSION AND ROAD SAFETY. The "MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE AND FOR LIFE" program seeks to PROMOTE ACTIVELY THE USE OF NON-MOTORIZED MODES, (Pilot Plan of Public Bicycles As a fundamental tool in this program) especially for regular trips, the construction of a friendly and safe environment for pedestrians and cyclists, the development of EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE and the implementation of programs and incentives so that more ibaguereños will propel themselves and the City towards a sustainable future. "
Investment in infrastructure for non-motorized means and public and mass public transport, as well as in the implementation of sustainable transport systems, such as public bicycles, which may have a preponderant role in the solution is gradually being prioritized.
In the development of the Pilot Plan for Public Bicycles, the route of kilometers in general was taken into account, and the reduction of Co2 from the application with transport (Gas Car, Diesel Car, Bus ...) in relation to activities in the use and promotion of public bicycles.
Agrópolis is an initiative that promotes the integral development of cities with agricultural capacity and potential for sustainable growth, aimed at boosting the synergies of agricultural development between urban and rural spaces.
The Agrópolis strategy is key to a postconflict scenario where the rural areas assume a leading role and what is sought is to integrate the combatants into civilian life; we must remember that we are an agricultural country and the foundation for our development is in the associative productive models that allow to generate a competitive and sophisticated field.
In this context, Ibagué presents favorable conditions in economic terms, agroecological conditions, location, agricultural culture for the development of the Agrópolis.
The model to be implemented in Ibagué is supported in the proper use of the wastewater that daily deliver about 500 thousand Ibaguereños to the river Combeima, the Chipalo ravine and the Alvarado river, seeking to conserve the water sources through processes of decontamination at low costs, prolonging the life of the
water resource through the reuse of wastewater for agricultural production on the plateau, especially for the fruit and vegetable production chains with appropriate technology seeking the intensive and sustainable use of the soil.
Agrópolis seeks to integrate all the actors of the productive chains as well as to generate new chains and rural enterprises with technified agricultural production, with agroindustrial processing and its later commercialization. This strategy will be articulated at the regional level with the surrounding municipalities and with the Administrative and Special Planning Region (RAPE) as a potential market to guarantee food sovereignty in the center of the country.
BanCO2 is a strategy that seeks to promote the conservation of strategic ecosystems such as native forests, moors, wetlands, declared conservation areas, biological corridors, and POMCA areas, through the recognition of the peasant families and the valuation by the environmental services present in said ecosystems. In this sense, BANCO2 is the perfect opportunity for the rural population of the municipality of Ibagué to make a real contribution in favor of environmental protection, which will be reflected in the improvement of air quality, carbon capture, reducing the rate of deforestation and erosion, regulating water supply, conserving flora and fauna, among the many environmental benefits that high Andean forests provide to our quality of life. The BanCO2 strategy materialized in the Department of Tolima, thanks to the work and commitment of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Tolima -CORTOLIMA- which recognized this initiative as the best alternative for financial inclusion of families and care for the environment. The municipality of Ibagué was selected for a pilot project including an area of special environmental significance such as the Combeima Canyon, which supplies water resources to more than 600 thousand inhabitants.
