Abstract

School transport is a public policy aimed at keeping students in school, promoting access to transport and education. Such public policy takes on a different view when it comes to Special Education, that is, the transportation and displacement of people with disabilities (PCD), assisted by specialized school units. The bus models used to compose this system for transporting students from their homes to the school environment must have basic adaptations to meet the needs of people with disabilities, aimed at the safety, comfort and human dignity of these passengers. This work aims to analyze the mobility and accessibility conditions in school transport for people with disabilities in the city of Cuiabá/ MT, through the State School of Special Education Raio de Sol, a public school of the state education system, being specialized and attending solely and exclusively the PCDs with greater psychomotor difficulties who need special care. It was observed which models of school buses are used and how this public is transported, the quantity demanded and the current possibility of offering this service by the SEDUC-MT were also analyzed.
