Abstract: Concern for the environment is a key aspect in all contemporary public policies, among these policies, planning of urban mobility is one of the most important. A system that has shown positive results in several cities around the world is the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT), so we sought to evaluate the contribution of this system for the preservation of the environment in comparison to transport systems with conventional buses. From the evaluation of the city of São José dos Campos project, it was realized that the BRT's have positive characteristics compared to traditional vehicles, contributing to sustainability policies.
