Abstract

Além de apresentar vantagens para empregadores e trabalhadores, o teletrabalho pode mostrar-se um fator de redução do número de viagens, o que contribuiria para a melhoria de muitas variáveis do tráfego urbano. Sob essa ótica, este estudo discute os efeitos urbanos do teletrabalho e apresenta uma estimativa para a redução do número de viagens decorrente de sua implementação pelo setor público no Brasil, além da estimativa de emissões de gás carbônico (CO2) evitadas por essa redução de viagens. Os resultados mostram que cada 10% do total de servidores brasileiros que passam para o teletrabalho representa redução de até 0,5% no número de viagens anuais realizadas em todo o país. A redução de emissões de gás cabônico decorrente dessas viagens evitadas seria cerca de 0,6% do total nacional emitido por automóveis e motos. Dessa forma, o incentivo ao teletrabalho pode ser interessante em políticas de gerenciamento de tráfego urbano no Brasil. In addition to advantages for companies and workers, teleworking could prove a factor on reducing the number of trips, which would contribute to the improvement of many variables of urban traffic. From this perspective, this paper presents an estimation for reducing the number of trips due to the implementation of telework in the Brazilian public sector, as well as estimation of carbon dioxide emissions avoided by this trip reduction. According to them, every 10% of Brazilian government employees that adopt teleworking can result in reduction of up to 0.5% in the annual number of trips made nationwide. The decrease in carbon dioxide emissions resulting from these avoided trips would be about 0.6% of the national total emitted by cars and motorbikes. Thus, encouraging telecommuting may be interesting to urban traffic management policies in Brazil.
