Nominations remain open for the Queensland Government’s School Transport Infrastructure Program, designed to deliver road safety upgrades and better active transport links around Queensland schools.
Eligible Queensland schools have until next week to apply for projects which can include new or improved drop-off and parking facilities, upgrades to bus set-down and pick-up zones, upgrades to bikeways and shared pathways and installation of pedestrian refuges and crossings.
So far, $27.5 million has been dedicated to the program to be delivered over the next four years. Of that $4 million will be distributed to new projects in this financial year.

Sam O’Connor, Acting Minister for Transport and Main Roads, said the program delivered practical infrastructure upgrades to ensure children could enjoy safe and accessible journeys to and from school.
“This program delivers real, on-the-ground improvements making school travel safer and more accessible for our kids,” said O’Connor.
“I encourage school communities to jump online and put forward their ideas to the Department for Transport and Main Roads about how transport networks around their school safer could be improved.”
“I look forward to seeing these projects delivered across the state in 2026 and beyond, providing children with safe and secure journeys to and from school.”
Submissions close Monday 17 November.
