In Brazil such matter began being studied in the 70’s, when several plans and projects for economic development were created. However, due to factors like the incompatibility between the proposed models of transportation planning and territorial planning, the expected results were never achieved. Since the decision makers focused on territorial occupation and do not concerning with transportation planning models that explore the natural resources available. In that view, this paper sets out to devise a multimodal cargo transportation network that enables goods to be efficiently conveyed within a region. The network should be developed using the natural resources available in the area. The proposed network aims at stimulating regional economic growth and development based on the Growth and Development Poles Theory and Graph Theory, which are both commonly used in network transportation studies.porAcesso AbertoRede de transportesTeoria dos pólos de crescimentoTeoria dos pólos de desenvolvimentoTeoria dos grafosTransportation networkGrowth pole theoryDevelopment poles theoryGraphs theoryArtigo10.5216/reec.v9i1.29299
