Introduction: Urban transit accident are a global public health problem. The objective of this study was to describe the profile of the victims and the occurrences of urban transit accidents attended to by emergency mobile care services (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência-SAMU) in Recife, and their distribution based on spatial analysis. Methodology: An ecological study, developed through secondary data from emergency mobile care services in Recife, referring to the total number of occurrences of urban transit accidents attended to from January 1 to June 30, 2015. The spatial analysis was performed using the Moran index. Results: Basic support units performed most of the emergency services (89.2%). Among the victims, there was a predominance of males (76.8%) and an age group of 20 -29 years old (31.5%). Collisions were responsible for 59.9% of the transit accidents, and motorcycles for 61.6% of the accidents among all means of transportation. Friday was the day that showed the highest risk for treatment, and there was a concentration of events between 6:00 am -8:59am and 6:00pm -8:59pm. The MoranMap identified critical areas where calls came from traffic accidents during the period analyzed. Discussion: The records of the mobile service from the spatial analysis are an important source of information for health surveillance. Conclusion: The spatial analysis of urban transit accidents identified regions with a positive spatial correlation, providing subsidies to the logistical planning of emergency mobile care services. This study is groundbreaking in that it offers such information about the region.

“…O universo da população analisada foi constituído por 3 (1) . Isso se associa ao cansaço do fim do dia, à elevação do fluxo de veículos, à variação da visibilidade limitada pelo alcance dos faróis, a veículos não sinalizados, à menor fiscalização da polícia, ao desrespeito à sinalização, ao excesso de velocidade e ao uso de álcool ou drogas (15,12) . Além disso, verifica-se que a queda e a colisão moto-carro são os tipos de acidentes mais frequentes.…”

Além disso, o comportamento mais agressivo desse grupo no trânsito expõe os motociclistas a maiores riscos na condução dos veículos, como velocidade excessiva, manobras mais arriscadas e consumo de álcool (12) . Fazendo uma apreciação do que o gráfico 1 revela, constata-se que a faixa etária de 21 a 30 anos apresenta uma predominância de 40% em relação às demais idades.…”
