Résumé:
Sustainable urban mobility in Brazilian cities is a major challenge for managers and
planners, since the dynamics of the process require both urgent mitigation measures
and future planning within the new standards described by Law 12,587 / 2012. The
priority for nonmotorized
modes, public transport and the integration between modes
and services of urban transport, requires of the cities, new positions with respect to
their systems. This study aimed to evaluate the conditions of the Public Transport
System of the Municipality of Campina Grande PB, within the scope of sustainable
urban mobility and to verify the opportunities and deficiencies that the result pointed
out, reflecting how these issues influence the same. The study was carried out from a
retrospective point of view, in the year 2015, through the Sustainable Urban Mobility
Index (IMUS), created by Costa (2008) and adapted by Maia (2013), Urban Mobility
Index for Public Transport (IMUS) TP), where only public transport indicators were
selected. The application of the index has shown that Campina Grande has urban
mobility for public transport below the index average, 0,43 , on a scale ranging from 0
to 1. It was possible to verify which indixes are in the most critical conditions, to
perform simulation of the impact that a modified indicator can produce on the city's
Sustainable Public Transportation, comparing it with the city of Anápolis and a
verification of users' impressions through a Google tool in July 2017, with questions
referring to the main indicators to town. Most of the answers confirmed the result that
the index had already revealed. The development of this work was intended to
contribute to the public transportation of the municipality. In general terms, the index
pointed to the need to implement exclusive roads for public transport, intermodal
integration, the need for a new destination origin survey, among other
recommendations observed.
