We currently live in a world where sedentary lifestyles and the excessive use of motorized vehicles have consequences that affect health and the environment. Promoting active mobility has become a key element in improving quality of life. In the educational sphere, this practice not only positively impacts the physical and mental health of students, but also improves their academic performance and social development.

The objective of this work is to analyze the benefits of active mobility as well as identify the positive aspects that it contributes to good physical and mental health in Mobility Engineering students at UPIEM in Mexico City.

The methodology consisted of three phases. The first phase involved an initial diagnosis, in which an instrument was applied to students and teachers of the academic unit to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and habits related to active mobility. This allowed us to analyze and gather information to help generate our informative instrument. The second phase was to design and integrate informative posters containing slogans that encouraged students and teachers to promote active mobility in their daily lives. The proposed slogans are as follows: "Biking for 30 minutes a day reduces the risk of heart disease by 50%", "One less car on the street reduces up to 1.5 tons of CO₂ per year", "Join the challenge: come to school by bike!". The third phase consisted of monitoring and evaluation, in which statistical and analytical tools were used to compare the situation before and after the implementation.

This research produced valuable data across its three phases. The initial diagnostic revealed a low prevalence of daily active mobility practices amongst UPIEM students and faculty, highlighting poor road infrastructure and insecurity as significant obstacles. Nevertheless, the implementation of informative posters fostered a noticeable positive impact within the academic community. This was evidenced by increased discussions on the topic in various campus spaces and a greater awareness of the benefits associated with active mobility. Subsequent monitoring and evaluation of the initiative demonstrated a clear improvement in perception and disposition towards active mobility. Through comparative statistical analysis, a quantifiable increase was observed in the number of UPIEM students adopting sustainable transport methods, such as cycling or walking, at least once per week.
