Gestão e planejamento do transporte escolar rural no município de Monte Alegre de Goiás - GO

Abstract

This research has as its object of study the management and planning of Rural School Transport (TER) in the municipality of Monte Alegre de Goiás. As a methodological procedure, a field research was used, composed of some stages and with data collection instruments: theoretical and documentary studies on public school transport, records of visits and observations with the Municipal Department of Education, application of a questionnaire to the department responsible for school transport management. As a theoretical reference for the reflections and analyses framework, some legal documents (BRASIL, 1998, 2000, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013) and authors were consulted, among them: Fonseca (2002); Feijó (2008); Freitas and Bettezzati (2011); Bortoni- Ricardo (2008), Martins (2010) among others.Thus, it can be seen that there has been an advance when it comes to rural school transport compared to ancestors. Many Brazilian municipalities had access to vehicle purchase programs, which led to a significant improvement and, with regard to outsourcing, the inspection of the Public Ministry is constant. However, when it comes to school transport, there is a wide range of other factors that interfere with transport: difficulties in accessibility with road conditions in passable conditions; the absence or insufficient supply of vehicles in case of outsourcing (many do not meet the requirements required by law); the scarcity of transfers from the Federal and State Government; and, the few conditions of the municipalities bear the supplement for payment of these.
