Abstract

Urban mobility concerns about how the displacements of people and cargo take place in the urban mesh.The intention of the study is to analyze urban mobility through collective transportation, in the city of São Miguel do Oeste -SC. This type of transportation has the purpose to allow a great number of users in a single vehicle, optimizing displacement and reducing a large number of automobiles that circulate through the city. For this understanding, a questionnaire of the type survey was elaborated and applied in a sample of a hundred people, all users of the collective transportation of the city.It is concluded that transportation is mainly used by young women, and for studying purposes. It does not serve the urban meshin its entirety, and it is necessary to rethink the system's infrastructure and public policies that encourage its use as a positive alternative to the urban mobility of the municipality.
