Smart Upgrade to Improve School Transport Services

Providing students with decent and safe transportation services has been a long-standing challenge, especially in Tehran Province, where 2.4 million students live.
With the start of the new academic year on Sept. 23, officials seemed to be aware of school transportation problems this year and acted more decisively. To do so, they have introduced a smart system to boost the quality of services.
According to IRNA, to streamline and monitor school transportation services, the ministries of interior, roads and education designed an online platform titled Sepand for nationwide use via the website Irtusepand.ir.
Salman Samani, the spokesman of Interior Ministry, told reporters that all the drivers and private transport companies wishing to operate as school transporters should register with the system.
