NGO launches front for SUS-inspired transport – 03/10/2023 – Panel SA

The consumer protection NGO Idec will launch a new campaign for the implementation of the so-called SUM, a unique mobility system along the lines of the SUS.

This month, the entity is preparing to launch a proposal for the creation of the new model. The idea is to raise suggestions on public transport revenue management, changes in contracts with concessionaires and the role of municipalities and the federal government.

Idec already has a text, which was prepared with around 30 representatives of the sector, such as the Pólis Institute, the Observatório das Metrópoles, and 13 more independent specialists, according to Rafael Calabria, coordinator of the NGO’s mobility program.

The entity will also seek parliamentarians who were mayors and transport secretaries to promote the theme in Congress.

Idec’s movement takes place while the government is discussing the legal framework for collective public transport. The public consultation on the subject ended last month and received more than 650 contributions.
