The COP30 Communications Team’s ‘Morning Brief’ for 19 November highlights fresh transport measures that will run through the end of the conference. From today, Avenida Pedro Álvares Cabral—one of Belém’s main east-west arteries—moves to bus-only status between 06:00 and 21:00. Private cars without delegate permits will be ticketed and towed.
Belém’s metro-style BRT corridors are increasing frequency by 30 percent during shift changes, but queue times at the temporary Parque da Cidade station still exceed 25 minutes at peak. Organisers urge delegates to travel outside the 08:00–09:00 and 17:00–18:30 windows where possible.
![Daily Mobility Brief: Road Closures and Public-Transport Diversions for COP30 Day 10]()
Ride-hailing platforms have geo-fenced pick-up points to three streets south of the Green Zone. Users must walk through a pedestrian checkpoint and scan accreditation QR codes before exiting. For wheelchair users and VIPs, a limited fleet of low-emission vans is available via the COP30 transport desk.
Air-navigation authorities reaffirm that the inner WHITE no-fly zone (80 NM radius) remains in force; drones spotted near the waterfront yesterday were grounded and operators fined R$ 20,000. Business-aviation crews should expect slot swaps with less than four hours’ notice if heads-of-state flights overrun.
Meanwhile, the Ministry for Women officially launched Brazil’s ‘Protocol for Women and Girls in Climate Emergencies’, adding gender-safe waiting areas at five transit hubs. Employers sending female staff should circulate the updated helpline number (+55 91 4009-1234) and ensure roaming plans work on Brazilian networks.
