Brazilian municipal traffic safety education programs

Overview

Municipalities in Brazil continue to implement diverse traffic safety and education programs targeting students and the general public to reduce road accidents.

In Rio de Janeiro, CET-Rio’s ‘A Caminho da Escola 3.0’ program is utilizing tactical urbanism to transition temporary safety measures into permanent infrastructure, such as sidewalks and raised crossings, informed by community feedback. In Indaiatuba, the ‘Bombeiro na Escola’ program recently graduated students from municipal schools following training in first aid and fire prevention. Other regional efforts include playful educational activities in João Pessoa and an educational blitz by the Municipal Civil Guard in Ubatuba to promote safe crossings.

New school-based initiatives have emerged in Ilhéus, where the Authority for Transport, Traffic, and Mobility (SUTRAM) is developing a permanent program in partnership with local schools. This project involves training teachers through workshops to integrate road safety into the permanent school curriculum.

In Caucaia, the Municipal Traffic Authority (AMT) is observing National Traffic Week with month-long activities. These include educational circuits in public and private schools featuring simulated traffic environments, as well as educational checkpoints in various neighborhoods to provide guidance and safety kits to drivers.
