Safe to School Safe to Home

Netstar will provide telematic units worth more than R200 000 for scholar transport vehicles in eThekwini as part of the Safe to School Safe to Home school transport project. It is being run in conjunction with Road Safety Partnership (RSP) South Africa, Toyota South Africa and the eThekwini Transport Authority (ETA).

The project will use car-tracking technology to monitor driver behaviour to protect learners on their way to school.

The project aims to reduce death and injury from road crashes between vehicles travelling to and from school. It also aims to educate drivers about road safety, enhance their driving performance, improve the quality of scholar transport, and set a safety example to all school-transport operators.

It is currently being implemented in schools around Durban, and in the next three years is set to reach an estimated 120 taxi drivers and around 10,000 learners.
