This research deals with the school transport policy and its general objective was to analyze the performance of the Caminho da Escola Program, in the last ten years (2009-2019), in the municipality of Cuitegi / PB. Methodologically, it is a field research with a qualitative approach. The investigation was carried out through a bibliographic study and semi-structured interviews with the Secretary of Transport, the Secretary of Education, principals and students benefiting from the program in that municipality. As a methodological contribution, we guide the studies from Stephen Ball and operate the Policy Cycle as a tool, considering that this conceptual structure helps in the study of the trajectories of policies, from the contexts of influence, text production and practice. For the analysis of the results, we chose the content analysis method proposed by Bardin (2010). The findings showed that, although the school transport policy makes it possible for students from rural areas of Cuitegi / PB to access and remain at school, there are factors that hinder their efficiency, such as: professional cultures, poor infrastructure and road conditions, time waiting for students to return to their homes and reduced number of vehicles. In addition, the Caminho da Escola program contributed to the nucleation policy and the closure of rural schools in the municipality, tensioning what the Education of the Countryside advocates: the right of students to remain in their communities, with adequate schools and a pedagogical proposal that emphasize social, cultural and economic values in order to strengthen peasant identity.
