What FETPESP does

FETPESP (Federação das Empresas de Transportes de Passageiros do Estado de São Paulo) is a private, non-profit trade federation founded on December 8, 2014, and headquartered on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, Brazil. It is recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment as a higher-level entity within the country's confederative trade union system. The federation coordinates, protects, and represents the economic category of public road passenger transport operators in São Paulo state — covering international, interstate, intermunicipal, suburban, metropolitan, and urban services — through 9 affiliated unions (SETPESP, INTERURBANO, SETMETRO, SINDSAN, GUARUSET, SETCAMP, SPURBANUSS, S.TRANSPASS-URB, SETC ABC).

FETPESP's product and service portfolio includes the Sou + Ônibus bimonthly industry magazine, the COMJOVEM young executives leadership program (priced at R$1,500/year per participant, billed to the member company), the Despoluir environmental program (vehicle emission inspections and certification executed in partnership with CNT and SEST SENAT), the Selo Cidade Verde seal recognizing sustainable transport practices, the Prêmio FETPESP de Comunicação awards recognizing journalism and communication about passenger transport, and the recently launched FETPESP TECH video series curating technology suppliers for the sector. It also runs a YouTube channel and a news portal used to disseminate regulatory and industry updates.

The federation generates revenue primarily through membership fees from its 9 affiliated unions and their member operating companies, supplemented by program-specific fees such as the COMJOVEM annual subscription. Distribution is direct to the affiliated unions and from there to operating companies; the federation partners strategically with CNT, SEST SENAT, Mercedes-Benz, Prodata Mobility Brasil, WPLEX Software, Scania, Comgás, Caio, and Mais Mob. Leadership rests with President Mauro Artur Herszkowicz (also Director of Viação Paraty Ltda.) supported by vice-presidents for road, judicial, metropolitan, and urban transport portfolios. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the organization operates with a staff of 1-10 employees.

Others
