On January 9, 2026, the Campinas City Council is set to vote on a crucial substitute for Bill 92/22, which aims to permit vehicles transporting people with disabilities to use exclusive bus lanes in urban areas. This legislation is intended to improve accessibility for individuals with various disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and cerebral palsy. The bill is part of a broader effort to ensure that public transportation systems are inclusive and cater effectively to all community members.

In addition to the provisions for vehicles transporting disabled individuals, the proposed legislation stipulates that all vehicles will have access to the exclusive bus lanes from 10 PM to 6 AM, with certain restrictions on pick-up and drop-off activities. Additionally, taxis will be allowed to use these lanes at all times. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to enhancing the public transportation experience for those who have historically faced challenges in accessing these vital services, particularly at night.

The vote on this bill is one of several important discussions taking place in the city's first ordinary meeting of the year. Alongside this issue, the council will also consider legislative measures regarding quotas in public competitions, indicating a broader agenda focused on promoting equality and inclusivity in public service opportunities. These developments mark significant steps towards fostering a more equitable urban environment for all citizens in Campinas.
