They have an impact on the school absence of the students of the Ocotlán Regional High School and therefore on their academic level. The objective is to incorporate road safety education in some of the high school learning units in order to avoid or reduce traffic accidents that occur in the school community of Ocotlán and its surroundings. The qualitative method was used, a Google form was applied to nine groups of different types of high school in which men and women participated and the results show that the majority of students are unaware of the rules of road safety education, finally the conclusion is reached that, it is urgent that road safety education be incorporated into some learning unit or that EREMSO generates and applies a road safety education project with the aim of reducing traffic accidents and school absences.
