90% of accidents that occur during school transportation taking place at the time of boarding or leaving the vehicle, or in the immediate moments and in many cases, is caused by a diversion abuses the child, the shuttle driver school or companions.

Moreover, over 60% of the nearly 17,000 buses that school transport services, lead belts installed so special attention will be given to using the same as that of restraint systems, since in event of an accident, nine out of ten children in serious or fatal injuries could have been avoided had used such devices.

The importance of school transport in urban areas, mainly in certain places where there is the highest concentration of schools, makes participation of all municipalities in this special campaign has a special relevance, considering that is found to 50 km / hour , speed limit in urban roads, the chances that a child will survive without any security measure is negligible and that, even at low speeds its survival is guaranteed.
