Transport Connections
Transport Connections is about communities working together to improve local transport. There are 32 projects active throughout all Victorian rural, regional and interface municipalities.

Through local partnerships and the use of existing assets and services such as taxis, school buses, community buses and volunteers, communities are able to develop innovative approaches that can make participation in community life easier for people with limited access to transport.
Transport Connections is an $18.3 million Victorian Government investment that provides funding to help communities set up working groups, employ a coordinator and develop a range of transport initiatives.
A Transport Connections Flexible Fund helps to deliver small-scale localised initiatives across the State. These include extensions to existing services or the implementation of new trial services.
Transport Connections is a joint initiative of the Department of Planning and Community Development, 
Department of Transport, Department of Human Services and Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. It builds on the success of a three-year pilot where nine Transport Connections projects were funded across Victoria.
