# SYSTRA to assist with urban transport plan in São Paulo

![La région métropolitaine de São Paulo est la troisième plus grande aire urbaine du monde : sa conurbation réunit 39 municipalités et plus de 20 millions d'habitants](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/systra-brazil-sao-paulo-2624-scaled.jpg)

As part of a permanent process of strategic planning, PITU 2040 aims, like its
predecessors PITU 2020 and PITU 2025, to develop, over the next twenty years,
the mobility policy for the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, including how the
public transport network will meet the needs of urban mobility and the level of
investment required to implement the policy.

### A prominent role for SYSTRA

SYSTRA will work on the diagnosis of the metropolitan transport system, focusing
on the integration of the different modes of transport. Based on this diagnosis,
SYSTRA will propose scenarios that can improve the quality of urban mobility, by
reducing travel times and costs. To this end, new concepts will be incorporated,
such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS).

> SYSTRA’s teams in Brazil already have solid experience of working on
> sustainable mobility plans. In 2016 we contributed to the ‘PlaMobOlinda’, a
> Mobility Plan for the historic city of Olinda in the state of Pernambuco. In
> 2015 we worked on the Urban Mobility Master Plan for the city of Rio Claro in
> the state of São Paulo. We are therefore well prepared for this latest
> challenge and look forward to developing new and effective solutions for São
> Paulo’s transport networks.

### Improving the quality of life for the citizens of São Paulo

PITU 2040, like other sustainable mobility plans, has the overall aims of
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thereby improving air quality, promoting
active modes of transport that encourage public health, and making the streets
safe for all users thereby enhancing accessibility and quality of life.
