Research that presents a proposal for the development of a database specialized in urban transport, which references information available on the web for use by employees of the National Association of Urban Transport Companies, in order to contribute to decisions. It is based on urban transport, information systems, database and data modeling. The objective is to propose a reference database on urban transport to be adopted in the provision of informational services developed by the institution, in a case study characterized as applied, bibliographical and exploratory. It presents, as research results, an application developed through the Microsoft Access 2013 Database Management System, offering registration (reference) of materials, such as articles, videos, presentations, book chapters, newspaper articles, among others, and queries, which can be performed by searching by title, author or subject. It concludes that the librarian can act in the process of building the NTU reference database, based on a data modeling that considered attributes mirrored in the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (second edition), for the registration of materials, and defined the types of data in the system and the database model for prototyping, which made it possible to provide and retrieve relevant information from searches by title, author and subject, and direct users to the original and complete source.
