This document is amended by the following documents:

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 13, 2019 N 1196

The changes come into force 7 days after the official publication of the said resolution

The latest innovations in the traffic rules of the Russian Federation have significantly changed the conditions regarding the transportation of children, including organized groups. Now, these criteria are becoming mandatory not only for carriers, but also for bus manufacturers and even for parents sending their children on a school trip.

Definitions

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

It's fast and FOR FREE!

The concept of the term “Organized transportation of children” is first mentioned in clause 1.2: “transportation of a group of 8 or more people by bus, not related to route vehicles, taking place without parents or legal representatives.”

Thus, any school trip to the theater, circus or other event, carried out using a rented bus or minibus, refers to the organized transportation of children.

The conditions characterizing the transportation of such groups are regularly updated by the Government with the addition of new requirements, therefore persons who regularly encounter this issue are advised to constantly monitor innovations in traffic rules.

As of the beginning of this year, the following changes should be taken into account:

, introducing changes to clause 3, affecting the issue of the age of the bus used for these purposes. He must be no older than 10 years. This innovation came into force on January 1, 2020;
, introducing changes to the above-mentioned Resolutions No. 1090 and 1177 from 07/01/2018, the contents of which will be presented below.

Rules for organized transportation of a group of children by bus

As it became clear from what was said earlier, the organized transportation of children is regulated by a number of the following documents:

Government Decree No. 1177 of December 17, 2013 with the latest amendments.
, instead of GOST R 51160-98, which was canceled from April 1, 2017, which discloses the technical requirements and test methods for buses intended for transporting organized groups of children.
Traffic rules of the Russian Federation.

How many people are considered a group?

The concept of a group can be taken from the previously mentioned Government Resolution No. 1090, which outlines 3 main conditions when a trip is considered such:

A group of up to 8 people is not organized and can move around the territory of the Russian Federation under the conditions of a regular trip, that is, without attracting the requirements described in this situation.
A similar situation applies to the travel of more children, but in the presence of parents or legal representatives.
Traveling using a fixed-route vehicle (i.e. regular bus moving along a set route) is also not an organized transportation of children.

Number of accompanying persons

The appointment of accompanying persons is made by the manager or the person responsible for the safety of the flight. If transportation is carried out by a carrier.

The responsibilities of the designated person include accompanying minor passengers from the moment of departure to the unloading point and, if the situation requires it, back. The number of adults is determined based on design feature the vehicle used in this case.

The main rule is:

there was 1 attendant near each door;
At the same time, one of them is appointed as the head of the bus in which he is located. His responsibilities include coordinating the work of his colleagues and the driver of this vehicle.

Who can accompany

As for accompanying persons, the law does not provide for special requirements for them, except for the mention that they must be adults.

Therefore, this can be understood in different ways:

A person who has reached the age of majority, that is, 16 years old.
An adult can be called a person who is responsible for his actions before the law; here the age increases to 18.

Thus, specific information about the accompanying persons is not provided, from this the next logical conclusion follows: “What is not prohibited is permitted.”

If we talk about who else should accompany the bus transporting an organized group of children, we can add the following:

In accordance with Government Decree No. 1177, paragraph 12, the presence of a medical worker is mandatory when traveling intercity by transport convoy for more than 12 hours.
According to paragraph 10 of the above-mentioned document, the trip leader submits a message about the planned departure. If there are 3 or more vehicles with children (regardless of capacity), an application is submitted for escort by a police car.

Documents

The list of accompanying papers required for the transportation of an organized children's group without violating the law is given in paragraph 4 of Government Decree No. 1177.

It looks like this:

Vehicle charter agreement, if this flight is carried out using a rented bus. This requirement is specified in .
