How to create a School Access Guide

Providing a map is a great way to show students, parents, staff and visitors how easy it is to walk, scoot, ride a bike or catch public transport to your school. You can make your school access guide available on your school website, in your newsletter, on Connect, or provide printed copies at the front desk, at orientation days or during staff inductions.

What is an Access Guide?

School access guides show walking, cycling and public transport facilities. They provide information specific to your school, such as:

• Walking paths
• Bicycle friendly routes
• Nearby bus stops and train stations
• Bike parking, pumps and repair stations
• Popular routes to school
• Kiss and ride points
• Crossing guard points
• High traffic areas

What we do?

Once you've gotten started, our mapping team will check the bicycle routes and public transport service information that connect with your school. We'll then pop it all in our handy template and make sure we provide information specific to your school. You'll have an opportunity to review it to check for accuracy and then we will provide you with a final PDF that can be shared online or printed.
