Proposal would enable real-time school transport tracking
A proposal under consideration would provide trip location access to parents or guardians, plus route history and reports.
What happened
Portal do Trânsito reported on a 2026 proposal that would require GPS or equivalent technology in school transport vehicles, allowing real-time location access for parents, guardians and public authorities. The proposal also mentions route history and reports.
What this means for drivers
The proposal is still going through the legislative process and should not be treated as current law. Even so, it reflects a real need from families: knowing where the vehicle is without having to call the driver while the vehicle is moving.
What is worth checking
- Before changing your operation, confirm whether the information applies to your city, service type and local rules.
- Record times, route changes and occurrences that may explain delays.
- Avoid making operational decisions based only on headlines or national figures.
