Visit a vehicle sanitisation station as part of planning for increased patronage in point to point transport vehicles. Vehicle sanitisation station locations can be found by visiting the dedicated webpage.*
Taxi drivers are reminded to utilise dedicated taxi ranks as appropriate whilst rideshare and hire vehicles have access to PUDO bays at major events and follow point to point transport law and road closure information.
Point to point transport drivers should not be picking up customers from no stopping areas, and should encourage patrons to catch taxis and rideshare away from stadiums and at designated taxi ranks to assist with traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
Police frequently monitor exclusion zones and sanctions may be administered on the spot for failure to comply. Point to Point Transport compliance officers may also be present at major events and undertaking vehicle and driver ID inspections.

*Drivers should check the opening times of vehicle sanitisation stations and plan ahead for their own safety, and for the safety of passengers. More information on road closures for Australia Day can be found here and below:
