O Passe Livre no Transporte Público Intermunicipal como Política Pública de Inclusão Social no Município de Ji-Paraná

This paper aims to analyze the Free Pass policy in intermunicipal public transportation in the municipality of Ji-Paraná, Rondônia, as a public policy for social inclusion. The research addresses the right to urban mobility, the legislation supporting the Free Pass policy, its benefits, and the challenges faced in its implementation and continuity. A qualitative approach was adopted, including bibliographic research, document analysis, and a case study. The results indicate that the Free Pass has expanded access to essential services for the elderly and people with disabilities. However, challenges related to bureaucracy, maintenance, and management hinder its expansion. It is concluded that, although relevant, the Free Pass policy requires improvements to ensure its long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
