This paper contains the results of an evaluation of data availability and data quality aiming at the application of the Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM) in four cities: Belém, PA, Curitiba, PR, Goiânia, GO, and Uberlândia, MG. This is a first phase of a research effort for the application of the index to cities of all Brazilian regions. No significant problems were found in the acquisition of data for the index calculation in the short term. The worst conditions were related to the domain “Non-motorized Modes” and to the theme “Diversity of Transportation Modes”, which is part of the domain “Urban Transit Systems”. The difficulty is essentially the non-existence of detailed information about the urban trips. The short term data availability, however, does not mean that the quality of the information is good. Even though, only the domain “Environmental Aspects” was classified as regular, mainly due to the difficulties in gathering data of noise and air pollution.
