Toowoomba Regional Council has implemented a Council Public Transport Levy
A new levy aimed at improving accessibility to public transport services across the Toowoomba Region has received strong backing from the highest levels of the Queensland State Government.
Toowoomba Regional Council’s (TRC) new Public Transport Levy, introduced with this week’s adoption of the 2024/25 Council Budget, has received praise from Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Bart Mellish.
This includes partnering with the State to deliver key elements of the TRC Sustainable Transport Strategy 2023 which simply would not be able to be delivered in a business-as-usual approach.

“TRC now has skin in the game when it comes to public transport and I look forward to continuing to work with the State Government to improve the approach to public transport services across the Toowoomba Region,” Mayor McDonald said.
