Transport planning services for schools, universities and TAFEs

Education

Frank Turquoise Group has extensive experience in supporting Australian schools, universities and TAFEs in a range of transport planning needs.

We understand that education projects in the early stages require a special look at the return on investment around infrastructure investment, parking, traffic signals and active transport infrastructure and public transport.

Our team are experts in providing Green Travel Plans, School Transport Plans or Movement and Place Plans to projects in all stages; from planning to near completion. We are committed to working with clients and ESD consultants to ensure these plans meet consent conditions or reach 5-star Green Star requirements.

Frank Turquoise Group takes a people-first approach to transport planning to help schools and universities improve access to different transport modes including walking, bicycle and scooter riding, public transport, carpooling and car sharing. We review all transport networks and operations to help education campuses work with relevant government bodies to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable transport to its core place of operation.
