Cycling into the future

Integrating bicycles into the road network of Tangará da Serra–MT, a strategy for reducing CO₂ emissions

Abstract

Objective – Present a feasibility study and propose the application of cycle path treatment for some roads in the municipality of Tangará da Serra - MT

Methodology – Bibliographical references, field survey and qualitative research were used.

Originality/Relevance – There are many studies on urban mobility in large cities, but few focused on new and medium-sized cities. In this sense, the theme contributes to the debate on sustainable urban mobility.

Results – The low concentration of cycling infrastructure can be seen, but there is the possibility of a redistribution of spaces that would allow the insertion of bicycle infrastructure into the urban network.

Theoretical/Methodological Contributions – Demonstration through images and surveys that the city can provide cycling infrastructure with minimal interventions.

Social and Environmental Contributions – The findings highlight the importance of ensuring accessibility and urban mobility, proposing a mode of travel without impacting the environment
