Smart Transportation Planning
● Integrated land use and transportation at opportune time;
○ Population grew along the transportation system.
● A pragmatic, integrated, cost-effective, & efficient transport
system;
● The bus way system is under 2 agencies:
○ IPPUC for planning
○ URBS for delivery
● Institute for Urban Research and Planning (IPPUC)
● Monitor, implement, and update the Master Plan
● Reinforced zoning regulations and created the trinary road
system
● Held public debates between citizens and private sectors.
IPPUC
● Maintains the infrastructure and oversees the bus
companies
● Granted licenses and reimbursements to companies
according to number of miles traveled instead of number of
passengers carried
● Implemented to solve problem of destructive competition
among bus companies that was clogging the main roads
● Companies compete for more routes in general, instead of
with other buses for the most popular routes
URBS
BRT
● The usage of the BRT system has decreased by 14 million rides in the past four years (4.3 %).
● “It does NOT respect me,” “It is NOT a good use of my money.”
● Loss of ability to innovate and develop alternative modes of transportation.
○ Monopoly of companies.

Future planning
● Develop a new Master Plan Center for Curitiba and its major centers,
neighborhoods for its traffic and transport of different model;
● Project Brazil Green Light;
● Produce and deliver 15,000 houses for the low-income population;

● Easing red tape in the approval process of popular lots, setting deadlines
for approval;
● The Metro.
Metro
● Replacing the BRT;
● Span 22.4 km and 21 stations;
● The company that wins the
plan get paid after it’s first

● 4.7 Billion Reais (US $2.5 billion) investment;
● Complexity and Political movement;
● RFP denial.
Issues with Metro
"You have to remember at the time all these ideas [BRT] were very
innovative, there is a logic of learning from best practices. You can have
solutions to problems that are proven to be effective, and this is prevalent in
many other disciplines. Those ideas travel around the world. Sometimes ideas
keep on traveling, even when they're outdated."
