About STRA

Who we are

Officially founded in 2025, the Student Transport Riders Association is the student-run organisation for youth using all forms of public transport in Victoria. We are a not-for-profit organisation, with no political affiliations.

What we do

STRA lobbies transport organisations in the interest of young people using public transport.

We also work with other bodies and the media to provide education on public transport, and promote the benefits of an accessible and sustainable system.

Mission statement

STRA is committed to:

  • A fairer network,
  • An accessible network,
  • An equitable network

...where Victorians, and visitors alike, can go anywhere, at any time, with a safe network that is available to everyone.

The STRA operates on the Country of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin nation and pays respect to First Peoples throughout the land we call Victoria and Australia. We acknowledge the unique impact of transport infrastructure on the native environment. Sovereignty was never ceded, this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
