1 BRT Move & Bike Project Pedala BH: The Experience of Belo Horizonte Ramon Victor Cesar BHTrans CEO

2 Summary 1. Local framework 2. PlanMob BH s propositions 3. BRT MOVE Project 4. Pedala BH Project

3 Belo Horizonte (BH): Minas Gerais State s Capital Minas Gerais, federal state with 20 millions inhabitants BH City Population: 2,5 millions inhabitants (12,5% of state population) Municipal GDP: R$ 43 billions (15% of State GDP) BH Metropolitan Area: 34 cities and 5,2 millions inhabitants (26% of MG population and 35% of State GDP)

4 BH, : evolution of urban mobility indicators Numbers indexes: 2001 = 100

5 BH, 2002 and 2012: modal split and growth in the trip volume Modal matrix of the trips, in % (excluding the pedestrian mode) Rede Viária de Belo Horizonte Transit Car Motorcycle Bicycle Others Year 2002: 2,7 millions of trips / day Transport Mode Grth. 2012/02 Transit 8 % Car % Motorcycle % Bicycle + 7 % Others % Total Trips + 53 % Year 2012: 4,1 millions of trips /day Transit was the mode that had lost the most of its share in the trip matrix, falling between 2002 and 2012, from 57,6% to 34,6% On the other hand, the car use rose from approximately 1/3 to almost half of the matrix, being today the most used mode. The bicycle share fell proportionally, despite the growth of the absolute number of trips between 2002 and 2012 (7%) A motorcycle, that had a share of 1,3% in 2002, ten years later holds a share of about 6% in the daily trip matrix of BH

6 Pillars of the BH Urban Mobility Policy 1. Integration between the Transit Planning and the Land Use Policy 2. To improve and to give priority to the transit modals 3. Stimulation of non motorized modes of transport 4. Incentive for rational and innovative use of the car

7 Structuring iniciatives pro sustainable urban mobility Implementation of MOVE BRT corridors BH Urban Mobility Masterplan Bikes Lines Network Pedala BH

8 MOVE BRTs corridors: a project of the BH Urban Mobility Masterplan The structural multimodal transit network, proposed by the PlanMob BH, comprises medium and high capacity systems, operated by different transport technologies (BRT, Rail transit, LRT, etc.) with expected deployment by 2020.

9 MOVE, the Belo Horizonte s BRT: trademark and concept YOU AND THE CITY

10 How does the BRT MOVE works? Trunk feeder hierarchical transit network with: 2 exclusive bus corridors (in the center of avenues) + 1 articulation roadway rotor in the Hipercentre 40 transfer bus stations in the corridors Integration service bus station Pampulha (modal) Integration service bus station São Gabriel (intermodal bus / rail) Integration service bus station Venda Nova (modal) Integration service bus station Vilarinho (intermodal bus / rail) 480,000 passengers per day (BHTRANS system)

11 BRT MOVE: basic characteristics Cristiano Machado Corridor Antonio Carlos Corridor Área Central Corridor Length Passengers / day Integration station Transfer station Time saving (on average)

12 BRT MOVE: Types of offered services The BRT MOVE have different types of offered services and each one hels you reach a different destiny 3) POINT-TO-POINT TRUNK LINE Connects the integration bus stations to Central Area (CDB) stopping in each transfer station along the busway 1) FEEDER LINE Connects neighborhoods to the 4) DIAMETRAL LINE integration bus stations Connects different neighborhoods, 2) EXPRESS TRUNK LINE having part of its route passing through the MOVE corridors Connects the integration bus stations to Central Area (CDB) directly without stops

13 Dfjfjfjfjfjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj BRT MOVE s integrated network Structured by two bus segregated corridors and integrated with the Metrô BH (rail transit) Dfjfjfjfjfjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
