School transport

By rethinking travel behaviours with our children and undertaking active school travel options such as walking, riding bike or scooter, car pooling and using public transport we can all play a part in reducing traffic around schools.

On 28 January 2025, we'll start rolling out Brisbane Metro on the M2 route (also known as Route 66) - UQ Lakes to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

We will work with Translink to keep you informed and ensure parents, students and staff can get ready for the new year.

Learn about what we've done so far and our staged implementation plan on the Metro services page.

Council is delivering a tailored and coordinated program of infrastructure improvements in precincts with multiple schools in our suburbs. Whether you walk, ride, catch public transport or drive, these improvements will make travelling around your suburb easier and safer.

Brisbane City Council’s Active School Travel (AST) program is a behaviour-change program designed to educate and motivate students, parents and teachers to leave the car at home and actively travel to and from school. 

Council supports a number of initiatives to provide infrastructure to protect children and school communities and encourage safety on the roads around schools. Learn about Council’s Enhanced School Zone Signage program, the Safe School Travel Infrastructure program and funding opportunities, the Traffic Management Plan Improvements and the Queensland Government’s crossing supervisor scheme.

Council offers help and guidance to local schools to develop tailored traffic management plans that assess traffic and safety challenges specific to the area and find appropriate solutions that complement existing road safety strategies.
