We use as a proxy for the trips, the fleet of municipal vehicles employing the model in panel of fixed effects. The result indicated that if there is a policy that encourages modal shift it will be possible to decrease the fuel consumption and hence the emission of greenhouse gases. / Tendo em vista a crescente preocupação com a questão da mudança climática e suas consequências para a sociedade, pretendemos analisar de que forma o padrão de viagens dos munícipes impacta no consumo de combustíveis nos municípios. Utilizamos como proxy para as viagens a frota de veículos dos municípios, empregando o modelo em painel com efeitos fixos. O resultado aponta que, se houver uma política que incentive a mudança modal, é possível reduzir o consumo de combustíveis e, consequentemente, a emissão de gases de efeito estufa.
