Abstract

Estima-se que no Brasil mais de 20% da população tenha algum tipo de dificuldade de locomoção, seja por deficiência física, motora ou sensorial ou mesmo por uma condição específica transitória. Para que essa parcela da população exerça plenamente o seu direito constitucional de ir e vir, os sistemas de transporte têm de apresentar características adequadas de acessibilidade, dentro dos conceitos do desenho universal. Este texto procurou analisar as políticas de melhoria da acessibilidade nos sistemas de transporte brasileiro, analisando o papel da União e os principais desafios existentes para que essas políticas avancem. It is estimated that more than 20% of the Brazilian population has some limited mobility, whether by physical, motor or sensory or even a transitory specific condition. For this portion of the population to fully exercise its constitutional right to come and go, transport systems must adopt some appropriate accessibility features, within the concepts of universal design. This article analyzes improvements in accessibility policies of the Brazilian transportation systems, the role of the Federal Government and the main challenges to advance these policies.
