    Our children die in road accidents, what could be worse? We often ask the question: why do children get into traffic accidents? It would seem that the answer is simple: if a child, through his own negligence, is injured in a traffic accident, then it is the child’s fault. But the concept of “child’s guilt” does not exist. A road accident with him only means that we, adults, overlooked something, did not teach something, or showed by personal example that it is possible to break the “law of the road.” And often behind cases of child injuries on the roads is the indifference of adults to offenses committed by children. For a child, the ability to behave on the road depends not only on his desire or reluctance to do so. A child is the most vulnerable participant in road traffic, and in many ways, children’s behavior on the road is determined by their perception of the road situation. That is why the safety of children on the road can be ensured first of all by us, adults: parents, teachers, educators, passers-by and, mainly, vehicle drivers. Where does child safety on the road begin? Of course, with timely training in the ability to navigate a traffic situation, nurturing the need to be disciplined on the street, prudent and careful. Personal example is the most intelligible form of teaching for a child.

    Dear parents, remember: if you break traffic rules, your child will do the same!

    New rules for the organized transportation of children on buses from October 2021

    Driving with a child on board a car involves a number of obligations and restrictions for the driver. But if we are talking about organized traffic on a bus with more than 8 children, then a special Government Decree has been developed for this. It is this that will undergo a number of changes in October 2021. New rules of conduct have been developed for the driver and accompanying person during the organized transportation of children by bus. Have groups of children without parents become safer? Does the new law apply to school buses and public transport? Let’s look at this article about the amendments.

    What is this new law?

    In fact, it is not entirely correct to call the law of change. Formally, they do not relate to laws, but are Resolution of the Russian Government No. 1196 on amendments to another PPRF - No. 1177. Thus, the first regulatory act simply amends the second one from the beginning of October 2021 - the basic rules for the organized transportation of a group of children on a bus.

    Among the most important innovations:

    1. seat belts and children fastened in them are mandatory not only in intercity transport, but also on city buses for groups of children,
    2. more responsibility is transferred to the accompanying person,
    3. The deadline for submitting a permit to the traffic police for the organized movement of children is now only 24 hours.

    What are the changes?

    But there are still quite a number of changes. We'll look at them in order!

    There will be no more tour operators by law

    At the very beginning of the PPRF there is a definition of the terms used in the transportation rules. And one of them is excluded - the definition of a tour operator.

    Likewise, any further mention of tourism industry workers in bus transportation of groups of children is excluded.

    Every bus must be equipped with seat belts

    From October 1, changes will be made to the requirements for buses carrying children.

    • they must still be no older than 10 years of age,
    • be in good condition,
    • admitted to participate in the transportation of children and road traffic in general,
    • equipped with a tachograph, as well as a Russian satellite system,
    • and a new requirement - it must be equipped with seat belts for children.

    A new list of everyone on the bus

    Now the official list should contain not only information about children, but also:

    • about those accompanying the organized transportation of a group of children (full name and telephone number),
    • about the medical worker on the bus (full name and copy of the license or agreement with a medical institution that has such a license),
    • other employees (full name, phone number and pick-up/drop-off points, if they are not traveling the entire route).

    For the children themselves, you need to indicate in their list:

    • surname, first name and patronymic,
    • date of birth or age,
    • parents' contact numbers,
    • drop-off and pick-up points if they do not travel the entire transportation route.

    The list of stops and overnight stays must be predetermined

    In particular, the maintainer should have the following list:

    4(1). To carry out the organized transportation of a group of children, the person responsible or senior responsible for the organized transportation of a group of children and coordinating the actions of drivers during multi-day trips must have with him a list of places of accommodation for children on vacation at night, which also contains the name of the legal entity or last name, first name and patronymic (if availability) of an individual entrepreneur who places children on vacation at night or operates in the field of providing hotel services, or the register number of a tour operator organizing transportation in the unified federal register of tour operators.

    The storage period for documents after transportation has been reduced

    Now all documents after transportation must be stored not for 3 years, but for 90 days. The exception is an accident with victims - then the same 3 years remain.

    New notice periods for transporting children

    Previously, notification of the upcoming transportation of a group had to be submitted no later than 2 days before it. Now there are 2 new deadlines:

    • if the transportation is intercity, then 48 hours before it (no later),
    • if urban or suburban, then within 24 hours.

    The accompanying person must ensure that all children are wearing seat belts.

    A new paragraph was added to the Government Decree on October 1:

    The appointed accompanying person is obliged to make sure that children are fastened with seat belts before the bus starts moving, to control their use of seat belts along the route, to ensure order in the cabin, preventing children from getting up from their seats and moving around the cabin while driving.

    Now let's look at the most common questions regarding the organized transportation of groups of minors.

    If a private owner or legal entity operates without a license, the fine will be from 50 to 400 thousand rubles.

    Which buses are subject to licensing?

    The procedure for obtaining permits for transport services is regulated by federal law. It defines a list of activities that require a license to engage in. But until recently, this law had a number of exceptions, and vehicles that were used by schools were included in this list.

    Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 195 dated February 27 of this year introduces a number of changes to the Federal Law. The main changes concern the list of activities that require a license.

    Thus, for passenger transportation, you now need to obtain permission if the following conditions are met:

    1. The vehicle belongs to categories M2/M3 (i.e. has more than 8 seats excluding the driver’s seat).
    2. The owner of the vehicle is an individual entrepreneur or legal entity.
    3. The transportation of passengers is carried out either for the purpose of making a profit or to meet the internal needs of the enterprise/organization.

    The last point is especially important for schools. Previously, a bus could be registered with a school and used as needed, but today it is necessary to obtain permission to operate it.

    Where to get permission?

    Starting from this year, using a school bus for its intended purpose without obtaining a permit is prohibited under threat of a fine (if the violation is repeated, the equipment may be confiscated). To avoid this, you must complete the licensing procedure by the deadline specified in the resolution.

    The only organization that issues permits in the field of passenger transportation is the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport.

    Therefore, you need to submit an application and send documents to the territorial divisions of Rostransnadzor.

    The procedure does not provide for the mandatory personal participation of the organization in obtaining a license. Therefore, the school can contact one of the companies that will take over the process of communicating with representatives of Rostransnadzor - as a rule, this facilitates the collection of documents and saves time.

    What documents are needed to obtain a permit?

    The list of documents for licensing passenger transportation in 2019 includes:

    • A copy of the organization’s order, according to which an employee responsible for road safety is appointed (additionally, confirmation of certification in road safety is provided).
    • A copy of the agreement with the medical institution that will carry out pre-trip examination of drivers.
    • A copy of the agreement with the organization that will repair and maintain buses.
    • Copies of driver documents (licence, work record, health certificate).
    • Documents for all vehicles that the school will use in passenger transportation (ownership, title, etc.).
    • Documents confirming that the vehicle is equipped with standard tachographs and equipment for GLONASS satellite navigation.

    If the school does not have its own parking lot or garage, then to obtain a license you must also provide a parking agreement and copies of payment documents.

    All documents for the organization itself must be submitted separately. After collecting the documentation package, a school representative or an employee of a third-party company fills out an application (a form approved by Rostransnadzor is used). The application and documents for licensing bus transportation are submitted to the territorial division of Rostransnadzor or sent there by registered mail.

    A prerequisite for obtaining permission to transport children by school bus is payment of the state fee. The time required for consideration of the application and issuance of a license (or provision of a reasoned refusal) is no more than 3 working days.

    The Caramel company offers its clients to order a taxi to transport children. For the youngest road users, aged from 0 to 6 months, up to a year, a taxi with a car cradle is provided. For older children, car seats are available that are appropriate for their age and weight.

The cost of this service is calculated at the regular city or flat rate plus a minor surcharge for a child restraint system.

    Requirements for operating a licensed bus

    Not having a school bus license is not the only violation that can be punishable by fines. To avoid claims from Rostransnadzor and DPS, carefully comply with the requirements specified in the federal law (“Licensing Regulations”, Article 7):

    • For transportation, you can use only those vehicles that were specified in the license. Inclusion of a bus in a license or its exclusion is carried out according to a separate procedure.
    • Before a flight, equipment must undergo inspection. A pre-trip medical examination of the driver is also mandatory.
    • Only drivers with category D licenses and having concluded an employment contract with the organization should be allowed to carry passengers. All persons involved in driving a vehicle must undergo training and scheduled training.
    • When transporting passengers, the driver is required to use a tachograph, recording periods of driving, rest and other activities.

    Between trips, buses must be parked in specially equipped parking areas or in boxes. Maintenance of vehicles is mandatory to ensure they are in full working order.

    Both school bus licensing and operating regulations are mandatory today. The administration of educational institutions needs to take care in advance of obtaining all the necessary permits, and carry out a large amount of preparatory work - from concluding contracts with drivers and medical organizations to labor-intensive re-equipment of equipment with the purchase and installation of tachographs / GLONASS terminals.
