Sustainable Mobility
 Sustainable urban mobility in Brazil, a challenge for all! The Brazilian urban transport system can count on various modes of transport: air, land and river, adding the rafts, canoes and boats used in coastal towns, mainly in the North of the country. Trams and trains feature a historical and cultural heritage of some Brazilian cities. The subway and train lines were designed to wreak traffic excerpts that connect the Centre to the outskirts of surrounding cities. In general, the trains have cars designed to offer users the convenience and security necessary for the transfer of equipment, without the worry of tumultuous or long transit routes on foot. In any means of transport, it is expected that the user can drive what it considers important to its locomotion and/or recreational activity like bike, skates, skateboard and scooter. Is it possible to make the integration between transport, with a single pass, ensuring the route from home to work, for example, with more dynamism, safety and comfort. There are women-only cars at peak hours, providing them with comfort and dignity during the journey, an initiative that has gained strength from the experience. The seats reserved for the disabled, elderly, pregnant women and obese people with infants are properly marked and well distributed, strengthening the culture of respect and the well-being of the citizen. The newly opened BRT- us Rapid Transit - public transport system based on the use of the bus, presents itself as an alternative similar to the VLT – Light Rail Vehicle – which, together, meet residents of some cities in the country, with larger, comfortable, air conditioned bus and faster, with exclusive routes. There are cities where the virtual service Islands make it possible to consult bus lines, schedules and charts. The consult can be made on the site or through mobile applications, which warn even when the transport is coming, offering more convenience to the users. Wi-fi internet access is possible in some bus stations and subway terminals. It is very common to see passengers connected, trackside, while waiting for the vehicles who will bring them to their destinations. Users also have alternative means to reach their destinations. One of them is a project that provides bicycle parking points in various locations of the major metropolitan cities such as Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It became an alternative medium, popular, practical and healthy for many users of public transport. Cycle paths resurfaced and well marked offer more comfort to cyclists and motorists as well. On the World Car Free Day, September 22nd, the main urban mobility movements develop activities to promote and inform the general public about the various alternatives of locomotion in the cities. The famous Cloverleafs of Brasilia are examples of traffic fluidity, along with the underground passages, allowing the use of semaphore, allowing more free traffic in ways that give them access. The concept of sustainable mobility is based on the improvement of public transport, thus contributing to the reduction in the use of common cars and pollution, with the purpose of offering users more humanized services, with reduced costs and smaller and more comfortable routes. Current alternatives already exist in the cities of Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro, being, every day, enhanced, like buses completely powered by bio-diesel or electric power. With the participation of all, it will be possible to ensure a more sustainable mobility model for Brazil.
