Assessing walking route safety for school travel passes
Guidelines for determining the safety of a walking route to school.
When students apply for a school travel pass, Transport for NSW assesses any walking distance criteria that may apply between home and school.
Overview
When students apply for a school travel pass, Transport for NSW assesses any walking distance criteria that may apply between home and school. As part of this assessment, existing road and pedestrian infrastructure safety is considered to work out the available walking routes to school.
Listed below are the different road and pedestrian infrastructure which are considered factors in a safe walking route to school or the nearest pickup point.
Note: Transport for NSW does not include personal safety as part of its assessment of available walking routes to school. Parents and carers are encouraged to evaluate personal safety when choosing a transport mode and route to school for their children.
