Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from motor vehicles have been increasing in large urban centers, thus contributing to air pollution. The general objective of this study is to analyze simulations of CO2 emissions among students who use public transport in the city of Passo Fundo, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methodologically, this study was developed in three stages: (1) verification of the time used by higher education students at Faculdade Meridional (IMED) in relation to urban mobility; (2) understanding of the transport mode used by these students, taking into account the one which appears with the highest incidence; (3) simulating CO2 emissions from the modes of transport used by students after the application of the Environmental Impact Simulator (EIS) used by the National Public Transport Association (ANTP, in Portuguese) for the modeling of transport indexes aimed at analyzing CO2 emissions. When considering the total of 3,079 students who assigned to a sample of 66 questionnaires, a reduction of CO2 emissions of 4,527.04 kg during a year in relation to the use of public transport was found.
