Abstract

A basic definition of school transport is generally consists in seeing that students arrive at school daily. In Ceará the situation is no different from other states of Brazil, which have as their common point the precariousness of the fleet, lack of security in transporting students, lack of infra-structure, among other aspects which hinder the access of students who come from rural areas have to teaching units. This Paper seeks to improve the level of services to rural school transport in the city of Paracuru through routing techniques. The work methodology adopted in this study is a descriptive type in relation to the objectives, based on bibliographic research, desk research and case study. The analyses showed that students' access to education in rural network is still a bit complicated, because even with the availability of vehicles there are difficulties regarding the infra-structure supporting the students. It is noticed in the study that the challenge is not simply to transport students, but the need to improve the level of services offering students good transport conditions.
