Políticas públicas e inclusão social: o papel do transporte metroviário no município de São Paulo

Abstract

This research aims to analyze public policies aimed at subway transportation in its role in social inclusion. Many actions to improve this transportation have been tried over the past year, with investment from state government, city government and the World Bank. The situation of immobility and exclusion of the poorest populations in large urban concentrations motivates us to ask whether the goal of alleviating poverty and promoting social inclusion is mere speech, or whether indeed the subway transportation produces the expected effect. Since access to the fundamental work for the fight against poverty and an efficient way to promote social inclusion, we can say that these factors show the importance of a public transport policy as a strategy of inclusion. The Subway as an important means of movement in the capital of Sao Paulo's prominent component of policies that must address issues of immobility and exclusion they are subjected to the poorest populations provided it has the objective to support these people. A bibliographical and documentary research, using quantitative and qualitative data, collected from various entities, including: Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo, the World Bank, Seade, Emplasa, CPTM, IBGE and by public officials and nongovernmental organizations, supports the development this project
