Changes to the rules for organized transportation of children

On October 1, 2019, a new edition of the “Rules for the organized transportation of a group of children by bus” came into force. Carriers, organizers of children's excursions, teachers, parents and other persons involved in the transportation of children should familiarize themselves with legislative changes in order to avoid fines and unpleasant situations on the road.

These rules apply to both intercity and suburban transportation, as well as transportation within the city.
You can find the full list of rules on this page. Let's consider what requirements were affected by the main changes that occurred in the legislation.

Bus requirements

Now all buses must be equipped with seat belts. The remaining requirements remain unchanged: the presence of a tachograph, GLONASS or GLONASS/GPS satellite navigation equipment.

Driver requirements

The experience of a category D driver on the day of departure must be at least 12 months out of the last 13 months instead of a continuous experience of 1 year, as was previously the case. This means that even if the driver had a break from work for several days (for example, he changed jobs), he still has the right to transport children's groups.

Requirements for an accompanying person

The trip is impossible without accompanying persons. It used to be the same, but it was not clearly stated (it was just implied).
The number of accompanying persons should now be the same as the number of doors on the bus intended for passengers to enter/exit. The remaining doors are no longer taken into account (for example, rear hinged doors).
One of the accompanying persons is appointed as the person in charge of the bus and is responsible for the actions of the other accompanying persons and the driver.
The attendant's tasks include monitoring seat belts. He must follow:

that children are restrained before the vehicle starts moving;
that all children are buckled up while driving;
so that children do not get up from their seats during the trip and do not move around the cabin;
keeping order in the cabin;
for fulfilling the requirements of the charterer, which were communicated to him during the briefing carried out before the trip.

Requirements for the person responsible for transportation

In cases of long, multi-day trips, the responsible person must prepare in advance and have a list of accommodation places for children to rest at night. As an alternative, the register number of the tour operator (in the unified federal register of tour operators) that organized the transportation can be used.

Requirements for the charterer and charterer

Now a notification to the traffic police about organized transportation is submitted by the charterer or the charterer. Individuals (parents, teachers, etc.) do not have the right to submit a notification.

The charterer can submit documents only if he is an individual entrepreneur, an authorized representative of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity.
The charterer always submits documents when the charterer is an individual, in other cases - by agreement with the charterer.

Rules for transporting a group of children on a bus

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will discuss the rules for transporting groups of children on a bus . Over the past few years, several regulations related to this issue have been issued and amended. All of them were reviewed on pddmaster.ru.

This article contains generalized information and will be updated as legislation changes.

Please note that issues of organized transportation of children affect not only transport companies.

For example, if parents of schoolchildren want to organize an excursion for their children, then they will also have to comply with the transportation rules.

This article will discuss the documents required for transportation, requirements for buses and the people on them.

What is organized transportation of children?

“Organized transportation of a group of children” - transportation on a bus that is not a route vehicle, a group of children of 8 or more people, carried out without their parents or other legal representatives.

Please note that organized transportation does not include:

Children's ride on a minibus. For example, if children and their teacher go to the theater on trolleybus number 1.
Transportation of 7 or less children.
Transportation of 8 or more children and several parents, in which 7 or less children are traveling without parents.

Organized transportation includes transportation when:

People travel on a bus that is not a route vehicle.
Among the people there are at least 8 children whose parents are not present on the bus.

If the above conditions are met, then you should read this article to the end and study the transportation rules.

Participants of organized transportation

Currently, the list of persons who can participate in organized transportation is strictly limited. Clause 18 of the rules for transporting children by bus:

18. When organizing the transportation of a group of children, it is prohibited to allow persons not included in the lists provided for in subparagraph “e” of paragraph 4 of these Rules onto the bus and (or) transport on it . This prohibition does not apply to cases established by federal laws.

Only :

driver(s) included in the driver information document;
children included in the list of children;
accompanying persons included in the list of accompanying persons;
employees and individuals included in the list of passengers;
medical professional included in the relevant document.

Please note that the legality of each person on the bus must be confirmed by an appropriate document. You cannot take a person on a trip without a document.

As an example, consider the following situation. The 11th grade of a secondary school is going on a tourist trip. At the same time, some students have reached the age of 18, i.e. they are not children. The rest of the class remains children. How to prepare documents in this case?

It's actually quite simple:

Students under 18 years of age should be included in the list of children;
Students over 18 years of age must be listed as an adult passenger (some may be listed as a designated chaperone).

Let's take a closer look at each of the trip participants.

Bus driver

The driver must meet the following requirements:

working as a category D driver for 12 of the last 13 months;
absence of offenses for which deprivation of rights or administrative arrest is provided during the last year. Please note that there are offenses for which the punishment is imposed at the discretion of the judge (fine or deprivation of rights). Moreover, if the driver is punished with a fine under such an article, then he cannot transport children;
undergo pre-trip briefing;
undergo a pre-trip medical examination.

Children under 18 years of age must be included in the special list of children.

Moreover, if there is at least one child under 7 years of age on the list, then the bus schedule must be drawn up so that the bus does not travel longer than 4 hours. That is, we are talking about the total duration of the trip. So it won’t be possible to take small children on long trips.

Accompanying

All accompanying persons must be included in a special list of accompanying persons.

Accompanying persons are assigned to each of the buses involved in transportation. The minimum number of accompanying persons is 1 person at each bus door intended for boarding.

If the bus has 2 doors, then there must be at least two accompanying people.

The maximum number of accompanying persons is not limited.

For example, 8 children and 30 accompanying persons can travel on a bus.

One of the accompanying persons on each bus is designated as responsible.

a senior responsible escort is also appointed . Until October 1, 2019, the senior person in charge could only travel on the last bus in the convoy. After October 1, this requirement is canceled and the senior accompanying person can ride on any bus.

Adult passengers

All adult bus passengers must be included on a separate list.

If the trip is organized without the participation of additional adult passengers, then a list of such passengers is not required.

Medical worker

A medical professional is required only if an intercity trip is planned, the duration of which (according to the schedule) exceeds 12 hours.

From October 1, 2019, a medical worker can travel on any bus in the convoy. Previously, he was supposed to be on the last bus.

Documents for organized transportation

Traffic police document

If transportation is carried out by one or two buses, then a copy of the traffic police notification .

If 3 or more buses are involved in transportation, then a copy of the traffic police decision on the appointment of an escort . In this case, the bus convoy is accompanied by one or more police vehicles.

List of children

1. Instead of the “Age” column, the “Date of Birth” column can be used.

2. An additional column “Boarding and (or) disembarking point” may be added if children get on or off at intermediate stops.

For example, a bus with children goes on an excursion to Moscow from the city of Kolomna. At the same time, some children get on the bus at the beginning of the route, and some get on in the city of Bronnitsy.

In this case, in the additional column of the list you need to indicate the city of Bronnitsy opposite those children who will get on and off the bus there.

List of assigned escorts

Please note that accompanying persons cannot board or disembark at intermediate points. They must travel from the beginning to the end of the route.

List of passengers and workers

An additional column “Boarding and/or Disembarking Point” may be added to this table if passengers board or disembark at intermediate stops.

List of all passengers

From October 1, 2019, all passengers can be included in a single list , that is, issuing separate lists for children, accompanying and adult passengers is not required.

For example, the list might look like this:

Note. If a medical professional is involved in the trip, he must also be included in the passenger list. In addition, a license to carry out medical activities or an agreement with a medical organization must be attached.

Driver's document

The driver's document must indicate his full name and telephone number. If there are several drivers, then the document indicates the details of each of them.

Please note that we are not talking about a driver's license. A separate document is required, which must be prepared by the transportation organizer.

In addition, you don’t have to issue if the documents include a copy of the traffic police notification about the transportation. Such notification is mandatory if the transportation involves 1 or 2 buses.

Procedure for boarding passengers on the bus

The order of boarding passengers includes information about how exactly it is controlled that exactly the passengers from the list got on the bus:

according to documents (official ID, travel voucher, student card);
according to the list of passengers;

Transportation route

The transportation route must include:

point of departure;
intermediate pick-up/drop-off points;
point of arrival;
stopping places for food and rest.

Note. Before October 1, 2019, a traffic schedule was also required, which should have indicated the time of arrival at different points along the route.

Additional documents

Documents that the driver must have only in some cases:

The charter agreement or a copy thereof (if such an agreement was concluded).
List of food supplies if children are traveling for more than 3 hours.

Please note that the originals of all the documents listed above must be kept for 90 days from the date of the trip , and if an accident involving victims occurred during the trip, then for 3 years.

11. At night (from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.), organized transportation of a group of children to and from railway stations, airports is allowed, completion of the organized transportation of a group of children (delivery to the final destination determined by the schedule, or to an overnight stay) in case of unplanned deviation from the traffic schedule (if there is a delay in transit), as well as organized transportation of a group of children, carried out on the basis of legal acts of the highest executive bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Moreover, after 23:00 the transportation distance should not exceed 100 kilometers.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that this article was compiled on the basis of the following regulatory document:

If you still have any questions, then first of all I recommend turning to the original source.

In addition, let me remind you that for violation of transportation rules fines from 3,000 to 200,000 rubles :

Memo for moving an organized group of children on foot

REMINDER

to ensure safety during the movement of an organized group of students along the streets and roads of the city.

To ensure the safety of students when moving an organized group along the streets and roads of the city, read this memo carefully.

Let's consider the term from paragraph 1.2 of the traffic rules:

An organized walking column is a group of people, designated in accordance with paragraph 4.2 of the Rules, moving together along the road in the same direction.

The definition makes reference to clause 4.2, so let’s turn to it:

In front and behind the column on the left side there should be escorts with red flags, and in the dark and in conditions of poor visibility - with lights on: in front - white, in back - red.

Thus, an organized foot column must have the following characteristics:

Several people walking in the same direction. The number of participants is not clearly indicated, so two people are quite enough.
Escorts with red flags must go in front and behind the column. To organize the movement, 2 accompanying persons are enough, one of whom goes in front, and the second goes behind. In the center of the column, accompanying persons are not required.
At night or in conditions of poor visibility, accompanying persons must have flashlights. White - front, red - rear (similar to the colors of car headlights and lanterns).

It turns out that any 3 people with flags and/or lanterns can declare themselves an organized column. Why might they need this? For example, to walk along the roadway without violating traffic rules.

Rules for the movement of an organized column

According to clause 4.2 of the traffic rules:

4.2. The movement of organized pedestrian columns along the roadway is permitted only in the direction of movement of vehicles on the right side of no more than four people in a row.

Please note that, unlike the movement of pedestrians, an organized column must walk along the opposite side of the roadway, i.e. in the same direction as vehicles.

In addition, no more than 4 people can line up in a row on the roadway. Accompanying persons are not included in this number, because a person cannot be both in the column and behind (in front) of it at the same time.

The requirements listed above apply exclusively to traffic on the roadway. If an organized column walks along the sidewalk, then the direction of movement and the number of people in a row can be any.
