In Caboolture and Morayfield, more than 4 in 10 people can’t drive. Age, disability, or tight finances are often the reason. Without reliable transport, many struggle to get to work, visit friends, or attend medical appointments. It’s about more than getting from A to B – it’s about jobs, friendships, and independence.
How can we give children freedom?
Imagine kids riding safely to school, feeling the same independence we once had. High fences and car-filled streets make it harder for kids to play and families to know their neighbours, reducing the sense of community. Learn more about bikes and bike infrastructure or walking and footpaths.
What about youth getting to work or study?
For teens and young adults, reliable transport means holding down a job, getting to TAFE or uni, and building a future. Find out a range of apps for buses and hail rides.
How do we help those on low incomes?
Whether it’s a job interview or the first day at work, transport can be the make-or-break factor for low-income earners and the unemployed. Check out buses and bus stops for affordable transport.
What about someone with a disability?
A simple trip to a medical appointment shouldn’t be a struggle. Better transport choice mean better health and less stress. Find out more about accessible transport choice.
How do we keep seniors connected?
Social isolation can hit hard. High fences reduce neighbourly connections. Reliable transport keeps seniors active, engaged with family, and involved in the community. See how walking, wheeling and public transport can keep seniors active.
How does our car-dependent society affect freedom?
To create real freedom for everyone, we need to rethink cars – what works well, which types suit our needs, and what changes are necessary to ensure everyone can get around easily and safely. Learn more about how cars fit into a connected community here.
Let’s build something lasting
Together, we can create a Caboolture and Morayfield where getting around is easy for everyone. Where freedom and dignity are shared by all. Be inspired by the great things are happening around the world and closer to home on the Streets and People podcast.
Kids who ride to school let off a bit of steam before class starts. They get better marks, and teachers have students who are more ready to learn. Kids who ride home from school burn off pent-up energy before they get home. This helps them have better relationships with parents and siblings. Kids who ride bikes connect with friends on the way to school. This helps them gain stronger social-emotional skills and build good friendships with peers.
These small actions lead to higher marks, better family relationships, and more self-confidence for kids.
The outcome we’d like in 2025: We want one school in Caboolture to increase the percentage of students not arriving by car from 15% to 35%.
A small success like this would show other schools in the region what’s possible. Imagine the ripple effects when more children feel confident riding on safe roads. Here‘s what you can do to help make this a reality.
Many young adults are motivated to get to interviews and work, but they need reliable public transport that fits their schedules and destinations. Many are interested in biking but need secure parking at workplaces. Others want to meet their transport needs without taking on early financial pressures.
By tackling these challenges, we can expand opportunities for young adults and help them gain greater independence in adulthood.
The outcome we’d like in 2025: We want 100 more youths in Caboolture and Morayfield riding to study or work.
Research shows that students who exercise before school improve their focus by up to 20%. If kids at one school can feel safer riding, other schools will follow. For young adults, the ability to get to work without car costs could mean the difference between taking a job or missing out. These changes create more confident, connected communities.
Let’s make a difference, one step or bike ride at a time.
Fast cars and free parking might seem harmless—until you see their true cost. Discover how suburban streets shape behaviour, safety, and community life.
Every vehicle leaves a mark—but not all marks are equal. A single truck can do as much damage as thousands of cars. Use the calculator to see who’s really paying for road repairs.
We are a grassroots community with no external funding. All costs come from our own pockets. Your financial support covers stakeholder engagement materials, this website, the podcast, and other ways we spread the word that the lack of transport dignity is a challenge we all face.
Bring your enthusiasm, your skills, and your interests to something bigger. Whether it’s honing a talent, sharing a passion, or learning something new, we’ll help you achieve your goals. You’ll find opportunities to create, connect, and grow while making a meaningful difference in your community.
When you walk around town, you’ll see what needs repairing. It’s super-easy to solve these issues with the free app Snap Send Solve. It sends your report directly to the right team. Council get footpaths. Abandoned trolleys, the supermarkets. Graffiti, no problem. You simply click below to download the app.
