The main objective of the mobility pyramid is to reverse the historical prioritization of the private car in urban mobility policies, favoring modes of transport that promote equity, road safety and environmental sustainability.[5]​ Among the most notable benefits of the implementation of this hierarchy are:

• - Greater road safety: by prioritizing the most vulnerable users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, the creation of safer infrastructure designed to prevent accidents is encouraged.

• - Social equity: guarantee that all users of public space, regardless of their means of transportation, have access to safe and efficient mobility.

• - Pollution reduction: by promoting the use of non-motorized and more efficient modes of transportation, we seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In Mexico City, the mobility hierarchy has been incorporated into the Streets Manual of the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (SEDATU), which promotes road design focused on sustainable and equitable mobility.[7] This approach prioritizes pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation users over the use of motorized vehicles. Initiatives such as the expansion of bicycle lanes and the promotion of the use of public transportation reflect the application of these principles.

The city has made progress in the implementation of this mobility pyramid with the creation of pedestrian corridors, bicycle lanes and the promotion of systems such as Ecobici "Ecobici (Mexico City)") (shared bicycles) and Metrobús (public transportation in exclusive lanes). Additionally, the Mobility Law of 2014 explicitly establishes priority in infrastructure and policies, putting pedestrians and cyclists first, followed by public transportation, and finally, motorized vehicles.[8]​.

The mobility pyramid prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists, encouraging a sustainable and safe transportation approach. Pedestrians have the highest priority, with wide sidewalks, low-speed zones and crossings designed for their safety. Cyclists also feature prominently thanks to an extensive network of segregated bike lanes and bike parking stations. Public transport plays a key role, with an integrated and efficient system. On the other hand, private cars have a lower priority, and their use is discouraged through measures such as high parking costs and the reduction of lanes in densely populated urban areas.
