Although Manaus has a favorable geography for waterway transport and is not fully utilized. The objective of this research is to present a proposal for the implementation of an Urban Waterway Modal on the banks of the Rio Negro that surrounds the city of Manaus, aiming to favor the population that needs transportation to get from one point to another, and thus guarantee the decreased congestion on city streets. This project will focus on field and bibliographic research, the technical and economic feasibility also making a cost survey, and a commuting time survey of public transport users, enabling a new solution to the means of transportation in the city.
