The capital of the State of Goiás was the stage for the XIX National Traffic Forum, an event that brought together authorities and experts in the area of traffic and mobility from across the country. During three intense days of discussions and presentations, the Forum stood out as an important space for debate and the exchange of experiences on the management of urban mobility in Brazil. Among the highlights of the event was the participation of representatives from the International Automobile Federation (FIA) in Brazil and the Automóvel Club Brasileiro (ACB), who brought significant contributions to the Brazilian traffic agenda.
FIA participation
The representative of FIA mobility in Brazil, Humberto Kennedy, was present at the Forum, bringing with him the Federation’s vast experience and international vision in mobility and traffic safety. Kennedy, who has played a crucial role in implementing FIA projects in Brazil, presented the latest initiatives that aim to improve traffic safety and efficiency in the country. Among the highlighted projects, ACBRNEWS stands out as an innovative tool for disseminating relevant information about traffic and mobility.
ACBRNEWS: Innovation and Information
ACBRNEWS, a platform developed by the Automóvel Club Brasileiro, was one of the main topics covered. This initiative seeks to offer citizens up-to-date and accurate information about traffic, laws, and technological news in the automobile sector. The proposal is for ACBRNEWS to become a reference for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, promoting traffic awareness and education.
Training Municipalities: Awakening to Mobility Management
Another highly relevant project presented at the Forum was the course “Awakening to Mobility Management in Municipalities”. This course, developed by FASPEC, a partner university of FIA University, aims to train municipal managers to face the challenges of urban mobility. The Director of FASPEC highlighted the importance of preparing Brazilian municipalities to implement effective public transit and mobility policies. The training offered by the course includes modules on urban planning, fundraising, project internationalization, use of management technologies and sustainable mobility strategies.
Tribute from the FIA President IV Region
The event also featured a special moment: the showing of a video recorded by the President of the FIA in the Americas, in honor of the XIX National Traffic Forum. In the video, the FIA President highlighted the importance of the event for strengthening mobility policies in Brazil and congratulated the organizers for the initiative.
Reflections and Impacts of the Forum
The XIX National Traffic Forum provided a conducive environment for reflection and debate on the most urgent issues of urban mobility in Brazil. The presence of authorities and experts enriched the discussions and brought to light innovative solutions to the challenges faced by Brazilian municipalities.
Over the three days of the event, it became clear that the exchange of experiences and cooperation between different spheres of society are fundamental to building safer and more efficient traffic. The participation of the FIA and the Automóvel Club Brasileiro in the National Traffic Forum reinforces the importance of initiatives that promote education and awareness in traffic, contributing to a safer and more sustainable future for all Brazilians.
With a constant focus on mobility, the XIX National Traffic Forum leaves a legacy of knowledge and innovation that will certainly influence public transit and mobility policies in Brazil in next year.
