Average Travel Time To Primary Schools During Morning Peak

Infrastructure Australia's strategic transport modelling layer provides average weekday travel times to the nearest public primary school via public transport during the 2016 morning peak period (7am to 9am). The data was created for the 2019 Australian Infrastructure Audit supplementary report on Urban Transport Crowding and Congestion. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial equity by mapping average_travel_time_to_school to identify underserved neighborhoods.
• Correlate school accessibility metrics with other urban infrastructure layers using geospatial joins.
• Model the impact of public transport schedule changes on peak_hour_travel_time for school commutes.

Strengths

• Created by Infrastructure Australia, a national authoritative body.
• Data focuses on a specific high-demand period (AM peak) for realistic analysis.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific column schema are unknown.
• Data is based on 2016 conditions and may not reflect current transport networks.
• The scope is limited to public primary schools and public transport only.
