Mobilidade urbana sustentável: políticas públicas e inovação em meios de transporte

Abstract

Understanding the need to develop public policies and innovations related to sustainable urban mobility is the objective of the work. Brazilian cities and also outside the country, experienced rapid growth for a short period, which causes various problems in the day-to-day lives of those who live in them. We sought to present a historical and conceptual basis of mobility, with information about the valorization of motorized transport in policies implemented in Brazil and the negative impacts. Highlighted the importance of the Nacional Urban Mobility Policy (PNMU, in Portuguese) besides demonstrating that it was a milestone regarding the discussion about sustainable urban mobility in Brazil, although little was implemented in Brazilian cities since its conception. In order to present a positive example of public policy, PlaNYC was contemplated, a plan created by Mayor Bloomberg in 2007 with the aim of making New York a better and greener city. This was divided into several segments in order to make changes across the city. The plan has become a reference in the transport segment, as it uses the principles of sustainable urban mobility, valuing the people¿s right to come and go in the city, through non-motorized transport and public transport. Within mobility in New York, PlaNYC obtained more positives than negatives in its seven years of implantation. Therefore, a study on the new demand-responsive public transport, the Citybus 2.0, was also introduced into the research. This was an innovation in a Brazilian capital, Goiânia, in search of sustainable urban mobility. It was implemented to be a substitute for individual motorized transport and in eighteen months of operation it has already reached a high number of users. To understand the quality of the service provided, a questionnare was implemented on a digital platform to obtain answers regarding the satisfaction of users of this new transport. The results showed that its service is rated as good and excellent by more than eighty percent of its users
