Vale-transporte sustentável: uma proposta ao incentivo do uso da bicicleta como modal de transporte do trabalhador.

Abstract

This study poses the following problem: Is there a way to improve the benefit of the transport voucher to achieve sustainability by encouraging using bicycles as a mode of transportation to work? The research proposed an approach to demonstrate the viability of ways to build public policies aimed at using bicycles to pursue the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Brazil. This is done by observing the impact of the use and adoption of the bike as a means of socially expanded locomotion, demonstrating the advantages of looking at this mode of transport as a fundamental element for achieving success when adopting measures to encourage, develop, and implement broad and collective solutions for the diffusion of bicycle use, especially as an element of encouraged individual public transport. The general objective of the research is to build legal knowledge for proposing a public policy capable of increasing the use of the bicycle as an element of labor transport and generating social, environmental, and urban improvements in the Brazilian 2030 Agenda. The first chapter initial lines on Public Policies are drawn. The second chapter introducing research into its topic discusses the SDGs, their emergence, and their global, national, regional, and local importance since the research works from acting "locally to acting globally." The focus is on demonstrating the need to understand where the fundamental transformations for long-term sustainability come from. The third chapter presents a historical and conceptual reflection of the instrument and legal regulation of the transport voucher, with the aim of re-reading it. This idea applies to the feasibility of a new regulation that encourages cycling as individual public transport and extends this benefit to bicycle users, thus achieving the SDGs. The fourth chapter discusses the current public transport system (buses, trains, and subways) with the elements of urban mobility so that this analysis can broaden the understanding of the absorption of cycling systems in urban centers, demonstrating that the latter are part of this mass of circulation and transport with existing urban and public policy denotations. The fifth and final chapter focuses on the insertion/expansion of the incentive/benefit for bicycle users as part of the public transport system, bringing a possible regulation of its mechanism, adding control content to the proposal, and providing indicators and tools to achieve the objectives indicated in this study. Finally, it was possible to characterize its viability.
