This paper discusses the possibility of creating a specific tax for urban mobili ty in
relation to its services and the demands produced by the Attractive Traffic Centers,
places that attract concentration and interest of people and vehicles, which ends up
interfering negatively in the fluidity of the locomotion of the citizen, goods a nd products.
The growth of cities modifies the dynamics in the displacement of people, affecting
those who live and transit nearby with the increase in the volume of traffic generated
by the attraction, impacting on individual displacement and public trans port, requiring
the need for intervention by public authorities. Deficient urban mobility worsens the
quality of life of the population and brings financial losses, as the public budget is
unable to meet demands not produced by the collectivity, but by spe cific private
enterprise and often with economic purpose. Traffic engineering, transportation
management, local traffic control and guidance, all these services are triggered by
specific and identifiable demand, generating an expenditure that is often not
programmed and not aimed at the general public interest. Thus, through the
elaboration of a Regulatory Project, the result of a qualitative study, the possibility of
taxation through the collection of specific fees instituted by municipal law arises, herei n
called Urban Mobility Fees, aimed at collecting resources to address the problems
faced and enhance solutions in favor of the local citizen. The project proposes the
calculation of the state cost of mobility considered the public budget approved in the
a nnual municipal budget law, the fleet of motor vehicles of the city and the existing and
trafficable road network in the municipality, quantifying the amount to be paid by the
taxpayer.
