urban mobility infrastructure Rio Branco Porto Velho accessibility law

Local governments in Rio Branco and Porto Velho are executing various infrastructure and safety projects to improve urban mobility and public services.

In Rio Branco, the municipal administration is advancing a road resurfacing program in the Conjunto Esperança region. Managed by the Municipal Urbanization Company (Emurb), the project includes several strategic streets such as Rua Santos Dumont, Nossa Senhora das Dores, and Santa Luzia, with the first phase expected to conclude within 15 days. Additionally, the municipal transport agency (RBTRANS) has replaced a speed bump with two new traffic lights on Estrada Dias Martins near the Beth Bocalom overpass to better manage vehicle and pedestrian flow.

In Porto Velho, authorities are focusing on traffic safety and social inclusion. The city has installed a new traffic light at the intersection of Avenida Mamoré and Rua Capão da Canoa to reduce accidents. Furthermore, Mayor Léo Moraes sanctioned Complementary Law No. 1.090, establishing a Reasonable Adaptation Plan (PAR). This law mandates personalized adjustments, such as physical adaptations and assistive technologies, to ensure accessibility and equality for public servants with disabilities.
