MOBILIDADE URBANA: OS CORREDORES DE TRANSPORTE COLETIVO DE PASSAGEIROS EM GOIÂNIA-GO.

Abstract

The present study aims at understanding urban mobility in Goiânia and the contributions provided by the corridors created for public transportation. The concept and history of mobility were researched, going back to the formation of urban settlements, the evolution of the means of transportation and the negative impact generated by the increasingly intense use of motorized transport. Based on significant experiences at global, national and local scales, the study highlighted several alternatives used to mitigate the negative externalities created by the excessive use of motorized vehicles in the cities. Giving priority to the pedestrias, to non-motorized means of transportation and public transport were some of the strategies used in the three scales. In Goiânia, as well as in other cities, priority was given to public transport, by the creation of exclusive or preferential bus corridors. The results point to a better ordering of the traffic, with a more inclusive and equitable distribution of the street space.
