Sep 18, Infrastructure, Transit and Transport: Responsible traffic attitudes, ranging from pedestrian to driver, are everyone's responsibilities. This is what the National Traffic Department (Denatran) wants to encourage with the National Traffic Week 2020. Until September 25, the agency, linked to the Ministry of Infrastructure, promotes debates on solutions in the area, such as the digital transformation that helps to reduce the bureaucracy of services to citizens.

In addition to educational activities, the integration of the Electronic Notification System (SNE) application with the Digital Traffic Card (CDT) will be launched. The procedure will offer more practicality to the citizen, with the payment of fines with discount along with the necessary documents for the driver. The new update will be available soon in the Apple Store and Google Play stores.

“We need to awaken in the user the importance of zeal with the traffic agenda and the risks involved in this activity. In this year's edition of the National Traffic Week this year, we will focus on education for society, in addition to moving forward on the road safety agenda to generate safer traffic ”, explained the Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Marcelo Sampaio.

Another novelty is the launch of HackaTRAN 2020, a hacking event with the objective of proposing innovative ideas and solutions, based on a challenge, which this year will be to develop technological ways that facilitate, reduce bureaucracy and guarantee more efficiency and safety to traffic services.

The theme "Perceive the Risk, Protect Life" was officially defined by the National Traffic Council (Contran) and follows the guidelines of the National Traffic Death and Injury Reduction Plan (Pnatrans), since accidents are the biggest cause of deaths in the world.

The creation of the Week took place from the National Traffic Day, which is celebrated on September 25th. The objectives are to raise awareness and educate the population with specific themes chosen every year by Contran.
