The issue of urban mobility is extremely important for the development of the municipality in all areas.
This week I submitted a Providence request so that the schedules and frequency of service for urban public transport lines in Passo Fundo would be reassessed.
Even the topic of shortcomings in the service of urban public transport, which is a fundamental and competence of the municipality, was a headline in the local newspapers.
With the pandemic, people have prioritized (for those who can) private individual transportation over the congregation.
In Passo Fundo, despite the fact that bike lanes have already been installed along the main roads, much remains to be done to make this model safely available to citizens.
Much is said about sustainable urban mobility as a solution to reducing polluting gases.
The recent United Nations Conference on Climate Change, which took place on 10/31 and 11/12, in the United Kingdom, in Glasgow, warned of the scenario of concern about climate change and how urban mobility affects the balance of the environment.
Transfer applications appear, a certain method that can be used in a cross-user manner, which imposes the need for monitoring and inspection to ensure the integrity of users, and in particular the protection of women; Because there are countless reports of violations against the physical and moral integrity of users, although for the most part the services are provided with distinction.
The latest topic in the news was the incident in which a celebrity was involved when using a car app as a means of transportation, which prompted numerous reactions such as the issue of accountability of drivers and administrators of the application system that provides transportation services.
It is clear that citizens are changing their habits regarding the means of transportation they use in their daily commute, whether to work or for their own needs, using shared cars, electric scooters, electric vehicles and alternative means of transportation in search of personal transportation. Well-being, which indirectly contributes to the preservation of the environment.
The search for ways to get around using a medium different from traditional methods has led to the promotion of the use of electric scooters, electric skateboards, electric bicycles and electric monocycles.
These means of transportation are welcomed by citizens who are facing the constant increase in fuel prices and are looking for less expensive alternatives.
On the other hand, the number of dangerous accidents is often increasing, which is why it is necessary for public authorities to regulate the way in which they should be used, especially with regard to compliance with the rules for the handling of vehicles on public roads and the use of safety equipment.
It is not just the means of commuting on wheels and individuals presenting themselves as an alternative to rapid, efficient and economical transportation, emerging alternatives for mass use through the use of monorail, elevators, water, why not cable cars and air (mobile).
It is clear that alternative modes of transportation avoid congestion and pollution, and in times of epidemic, congestion of people, increase the quality of life of users, prove to be more resilient and enhance sustainability.
It is necessary to search for solutions that guarantee comfort, economy and safety in the daily movement of people, relieve the chaos of traffic jams and overcrowding of buses and subways.
These are challenges to overcome when traveling on rainy days, the displacement of workers over long distances, and the frequent dangers of sharing space with cars, which are exacerbated by the disrespect of many drivers.
Well-being and safety stem from an ongoing and ongoing campaign to promote traffic education, incentives to develop new technologies and use renewable energies to improve urban transportation.
In the face of the continuous development and growth of cities, encouraging the use of alternative forms of displacement is necessary to form a sustainable, comfortable and safe transport system, and the public authority must intervene to ensure the protection and safety of citizens, particularly through campaigns to educate and coordinate behavior by both drivers and users of alternative urban transport .
