Brazil needs to invest R$ 1.7 trillion to have a modern transportation system

In order for Brazil to have an efficient and trouble-free transportation system, a R $ 1.7 trillion. The data consists at the CNT Transport and Logistics Plan, prepared by the National Transport Confederation (CNT).

To arrive at this calculation, the entity considered the current and future needs of the country, as well as the physical, economic and social particularities of each region. In view of this, the CNT points out that 2,663 projects essential for the development of national transport infrastructure. Interventions cover all modes (air, water, rail and road) of cargo and passengers, including the terminal structure. 

The projects are presented within the concept of an integrated transport system. Therefore, they were structured in two groups: “National Integration” and “Urban”. The first covers the interventions needed to interconnect regions of high demand for passengers, production centers and consumer and export centers.

The second group deals with the urban projects, which are those of relevance in the urban or metropolitan contexts and mainly comprise the transport of passengers. In all, R $ 291 billion is distributed in 320 projects that include the 20 major RMs (Metropolitan Regions) and Rides (Integrated Development Regions) of the country.
