With this campaign, we seek to verify the conditions required by the Ministry of Transportation for the safe transfer of schoolchildren and preschoolers.
An important campaign of control of the school transport is carried out by the officers of the Integration Model of the Carabineros Community MICC of the 65th Commissariat of Pirque.
The Second Sergeant Lorena Sepúlveda Vergara, referred regarding the inspection carried out in the commune. "The inspection of school transport carried out with the objective that children can have greater security when they are transported daily by the commune and its surroundings. This is why parents and guardians should inform themselves of the measures that should be adopted to optimally exercise the school transport service, and therefore take it into account when hiring to transport their children, "he said.
Regarding this same sense and the considerations that parents and guardians must have for contracting school transport, Sergeant Segundo Sepulveda said that they should check if the service is registered in the National Transport Registry, since when the vans are registered, their documentation is up-to-date, they comply with the conditions established by law such as the corresponding insurance and the validity of the drivers and accompanying persons' background.
