RollCall helping to fight traffic congestion

Research from Griffith University in Queensland reveals how student transportation patterns significantly impact traffic congestion.

Key Research Findings

"Students being driven to private schools has a disproportionate impact on traffic congestion."

A notable observation is that car trips to private schools typically take twice as long as journeys to public schools. The research also notes that private school enrollments in Australia have increased substantially in recent years, contributing to peak-hour traffic problems.

The School Holiday Effect

The research references ABC reporting on these findings, highlighting how school holidays produce noticeably reduced congestion levels during typical rush hours. The research suggests a correlation between private school growth and transportation-related traffic challenges in Australian cities.

How RollCall Can Help

Solutions like RollCall's school bus monitoring system could help address these congestion issues by improving efficiency in student transportation coordination.
