Local Transit Co

At Local Transit Co., we’re more than a transport provider — we’re a purpose-led employer.
This photo captures one of our workforce development sessions, where experienced drivers from Melbourne’s East African communities come together to grow, learn, and lead.
Proud to be a certified social enterprise creating real opportunity — one trip at a time.

The state government has promised new funding for Melbourne’s metropolitan rail network, including significant upgrades to Sunshine Station and the airport rail link.
Local Transit continues to be a reliable partner transporting passengers around infrastructure disruptions.

Transport is an important part of freedom and independence, allowing people to participate in society. For this reason, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides transport assistance for eligible people with disability who cannot use public transport.

Local Transport is a registered NDIS transport provider. We provide general transport for NDIS participants, as well as specialised transport for participants to attend a place of education or employment or the community.

Local Transit prides itself on safety. Our professional drivers ensure that passengers in wheelchairs are loaded carefully and that their wheelchairs are secured at two points in the front and two points at the back to ensure they have a comfortable and safe ride.

Local Transit participated in the upgrades to Melbourne’s City rail loop in 2023. This was the first time that this rail loop had been closed in 40 years. This job for Metro Trains Melbourne involved 30 drivers driving accessible vehicles each day and night – providing a total of 4000 of work for our drivers.
