Transport Connections (Statewide Project)

Connect to Ballarat

A Victorian Government program that helps communities in rural and regional Victoria and outer metropolitan areas develop strategies to address their transport needs. Through local partnerships and the use of existing transport assets and services, such as taxis, school buses, community buses and volunteers, communities are able to develop new approaches that enable people to get around more easily.

 Partners

Transport is consistently rated by rural and regional communities as one of the most significant barriers to accessing services, employment and social networks.

Transport Connections projects have demonstrated the potential of working with the community to make better use of existing transport resources. The projects help to make services more accessible by complimenting existing transport rather than competing with local transport business.

 Benefits

Each Transport Connections project involves a partnership between members of the community, including state and local  government, the community and voluntary transport sector, existing community or health networks and public and private transport providers
