Transport zone maps
The Ministry of Education publishes the official transport zone map for every school in New Zealand. Use it to see the transport boundaries that apply to your address.
The Ministry of Education provides an interactive map showing transport zones for every school in New Zealand. These zones are the main factor in deciding whether a student is eligible for school transport. Enter your address to see the transport boundaries that apply to you.
Open the Ministry's mapping systemTransport zones are not the same as enrolment zones. An enrolment zone decides which schools your child is entitled to attend. A transport zone decides whether the Ministry of Education will fund their bus ride. Both are set by the Ministry, but they use different boundaries and often don't line up.
The rule that matters for transport is the 'nearest appropriate school' rule. Your child qualifies for a free bus pass if they are travelling to the nearest school - of the right level - to your home. If your family chooses a different TTNG school instead, your child is still welcome on the bus, but as a fare-paying student rather than an eligible one.
