The objective of this study is to analyze the distribution of the transportation system and the dynamics of municipal occupation in the Imperial city of Petropolis, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The premise is that accessibility is a key element in fostering quality in the distribution of the opportunities that a territory has in its favor. The verification of the unequal distribution of accessibility in works developed in Brazilian cities reinforces the need for its evaluation at the municipal level. The methodology consists of conceptual review, elaboration and processing of data, preparation of thematic maps and evaluation of the behavior of accessibility indicators. The results now indicate an equitable distribution, or demonstrate the consolidation of a pattern of unequal development of the territory, evidencing the complexity of its evaluation.
