Average Travel Time to Primary Schools by Public Transport During AM Peak, 2019

Australian geospatial data representing average weekday travel time to the nearest public primary school using public transport during the morning peak period (7am to 9am). The data was produced by Infrastructure Australia for the 2019 Australian Infrastructure Audit and its supplementary report on Urban Transport Crowding and Congestion. It was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling school catchment accessibility based on public transport travel times during peak hours.
• Analyzing urban transport congestion and crowding patterns around school zones mentioned in the report.
• Informing infrastructure investment decisions for education and transport networks.
• Benchmarking and visualizing spatial equity in access to public primary education.

Strengths

• Produced by the authoritative national body Infrastructure Australia for a major audit.
• Focuses on a specific and policy-relevant time period: the weekday AM peak (7am to 9am).
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, etc.) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data reflects a 2019 audit snapshot; current conditions may have changed.
