1 SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY PLAN OF THE CITY OF SANTA MARIA (BRAZIL) REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPTS TO CURB THE CAR ORIENTATED MOBILITY PLANNING IN MEDIUM SIZED CITIES IN BRAZIL David Moncholí i Badillo

2 1. Context 1. Context is a medium sized city of nearly inhabitants at the heart of Rio Grande do Sul State in Southern Brazil. 2

3 1. Context 1. Context As many other Brazilian cities, it has experienced a tremendous economic development in the recent years, which has been accompanied by a huge increase in car ownership and thus car usage. The motorization rate of the city has scaled from a good 272 vehicles per 1000 inhabitants in 2002 to a high 462 vehicles per 1000 inhabitants in 2012, and the tendency has not stopped yet. This has resulted in a huge increment of traffic congestion and a tangible deterioration of walking conditions throughout the city. 3

4 1. Context 1. Context The municipality undertook the elaboration of a comprehensive plan with the aim to prepare the city for the challenges of the new century, in which a higher economic development will put even more pressure to the already congested transportation system. In order to curb this tendency and to promote sustainable modes of transport, the SUMP proposed several measures tackling the problems for pedestrians in the city, which intend to design an urban environment in where walking is protected and enhance, while keeping the commercial and economic activity of the city on the go. This way of was considerably revolutionary in, a city in which car oriented traffic solutions had always been the typical way to tackle problems 4

5 1. Context The OD survey carried away in revealed that the number of daily trips in the city reaches ( ). The index, calculated as the number of trips per person per day is as high as 2,3 trips/ person. That value is way higher than the one registered in the megacity of São Paulo (1,95) but places in a behaviour pattern closer to the cities in Southern Europe! 5

6 1. Context Almost half of the daily trips are made by car and only 27% of trips are made on foot This value is below the average of the city of São Paulo... which is 70 times bigger... 6

7 1. Context The pedestrian trips are predominant in the city centre and the poorer areas 7

8 1. Context Available income plays an important role in the behavior, by which higher classes use less PuT and less walking than the poorer strata. 8

9 1. Context 9

10 1. Context Challenges ahead Very poor walkability conditions throughout the city 10

11 1. Context Challenges ahead Growing + ageing population: +6,4% more inhabitants in the next 15 years and double more elderly people than today (from to more than inhabitants older than 65 in 2030) Evolução da Pirâmide populacional Rio Grande do Sul Projeção da população do Rio Grande do Sul para o período Fonte: IBGE 11

13 1. Context SUMP strategic vision 13

14 1. Context Pedestrian Priority Zones (Zonas Prioritárias de Pedestres ZPP) Creation of 4 different zones in which pedestrians will have priority against other means of transport not necessarily a fully pedestrian zone but a priority zone 14

30 1. Context Enhancement of accesibility and road safety For all the crossings in the city centre, and ambitious program to implement/ enhance: Vertical and horizontal signaling (almost inexistent) Accessible curbsides for people with reduced 30

31 Connecting links 31

32 1. Context Urban Set of proposed street cross sections to be implemented in new urban developments to assure walkability and priority for soft modes 32

33 1. Context Special accesibility plans for hospitals 33

34 1. Context School paths Intervention on all pedestrian paths and walkways in an area around 1km away from all schools in order to assure: No parking around Correct lighting Adequate crossing Specific signaling Traffic calming 34

35 1. Context Administrative measures Handover of ownership of sidewalks to the municipality of! The current Brazilian law considers sidewalks as public space but leaves all intervention initiatives to private owners of plots aside. This situation causes an enormous lack of maintenance conditions of the majority of the sidewalks, which impedes walking in safe and comfortable conditions overall the city The proposal included the handover of the responsibility of design, construction and maintenance to the municipality of in order to guarantee a common design, proper conditions and adequate walking supply for all citizens (standard in Spain but quite a revolution in!!) 35

36 1. Context The proposals contained in the SUMP were debated in 5 different Public Audiences in which several stakeholders gave their opinions and thoughts. An impact assessment was made to measure the changes in the pattern of the citizens once the proposals had been implemented. 36

37 1. Context The proposals contained in the SUMP were debated in 5 different Public Audiences in which several stakeholders gave their opinions and thoughts. An impact assessment was made to measure the changes in the pattern of the citizens once the proposals had been implemented. With the proposed actions and new concepts the city will be able to increase its walk trips from 27% up to 33% 37

38 1. Context The proposals contained in the SUMP were debated in 5 different Public Audiences in which several stakeholders gave their opinions and thoughts. An impact assessment was made to measure the changes in the pattern of the citizens once the proposals had been implemented. Also the behavior of each social trench will be able to change 38
