Sustainable transport
RMIT focuses on supporting students and staff to use active transport for sustainability and wellbeing
A sustainable transport system is resilient, accessible, safe, environmentally friendly, and affordable.
The RMIT Sustainable Transport Plan guides planning, infrastructure improvements and programs to encourage students and staff at RMIT to walk, cycle and use public transport.
RMIT is currently well served by public transport (trains, trams and buses) at the City, Bundoora and Brunswick campuses.
For up to date travel information visit the Public Transport Victoria website. Download the RMIT App for more information on transport options, end of trip facilities and campus navigation.
The RMIT Myki Commuter Club provides staff with a Myki pass (the ticketing system to travel on public transport in Melbourne) at a 10% discount, the pass is then repaid by staff through fortnightly salary deductions.
Please note the Myki Commuter Club program zones have been extended from 1+2 to 1 to 15 at no extra cost. This allows participants to travel within Victoria.

RMIT University expands the subsidy to include international students. More concession information can be found on the Public Transport Victoria website.
We support cycling through the provision of free secure bike parking across all our campuses for students and staff.
Our Bike hubs on the City and Bundoora campuses have created a blueprint for inclusive and engaging cycling facilities which greatly improve the user experience
These facilities include:
Students and staff have automatic access to our secure bike parking facilities through their RMIT Security access card.
Secure bike facilities can be found in the following locations:

The RMIT Cycling Club is always looking for new members to join in the enjoyment of Cycling.
Whether you are a competitive cyclist, a daily commuter, or just a social / recreational cyclist, the RMIT Cycling Club has opportunities for you. It's one thing to enjoy riding alone, but our objective is to allow you to meet a group of other like-minded individuals and enjoy cycling together.
