School trips characterize the main daily commute by students. Understanding how these trips are made and which aspects influence their choices is fundamental to provide improvements in transportation and quality of life for students. From a literature review, we listed aspects impacting the selection of the transportation mode used in school trips and the satisfaction with the quality of scholar transportation provided to the students. To qualify scholar trips in small cities, high school students from 10 schools located in 6 different cities of the central region of Rio Grande do Sul State were selected, totaling 763 students interviewed. Through the application of a qualitative and quantitative questionnaire we collected data on target audience, trips, perceptions of trips and satisfaction with scholar transportation, providing information for the diagnosis of the scholar trips. With the results obtained, it is possible to guide public policies aimed at improving the quality and safety of scholar trips.

The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
