Sistema de indicadores de sustentabilidade para o transporte público urbano de Porto Alegre

Abstract

Developing climate mitigation solutions in the transportation sector, especially land transportation, is strategic for the municipality of Porto Alegre, as this is the sector that emits the most in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. Given the possibilities for municipal government action on this issue, this project sought answers on investment possibilities for the electrification of the municipality's public transport bus fleet, a solution of great relevance, given that it accounts for about 10% of land transport emissions. Furthermore, considering the emission of pollutants from diesel buses, which in quantities above those recommended by the WHO can impact the health of the exposed population, both in terms of morbidity and mortality, the energy transition presents itself as a positive opportunity.
