[Taxi pick-up support project to nursery schools, etc.] How to check distance requirements and how to create a transfer route map

About pick-up support business by taxi to nursery schools, here we explain how to confirm whether small-scale childcare establishments (subsidized facilities) targeted for assistance meet "requirements of distance". In addition, we will explain how to create a transfer route map required when applying.

Last updated on April 1, 2025.

Please be sure to check by yourself before applying for this project.

Concept of distance requirements

The distance requirement is "approximately 2km or more"

In summary, about standard of distance of supporting use facility, we assume that there is distance more than approximately 2 kilometers from home. "Generally" means that the distance here is sufficient for the distance between the home and the auxiliary facility, and it is not necessary to be a straight distance (in addition, the distance of the road must be at least 2 km) . Also, the distance of the road here must be the shortest distance on foot. Route searches that are not distinguished from other means, such as bicycles, are not suitable for confirmation.

How to check the distance

There is a web service that measures the distance on foot between the two points, so please check the shortest distance with these services.
As far as we know as of the end of March 2025, the following sites are compatible with this search (in no particular order).

  • Google Map
  • Yahoo! Map
  • NAVITIME
  • Always NAVI
  • bing map

In principle, the distance requirements will be reviewed on Google Map. (If you cannot search well in Address area, Yahoo! Map)
[Example of Examination]

  • When a distance of 2 kilometers or more is displayed on Google Maps → Approval
  • If the Google Map is less than 2 km, but it is displayed on another site as 2 km or more on the same route. → Please attach a screenshot of a route of 2 kilometers or more. We will judge according to the attached route.
  • If the Google Map is less than 2 km, but another site displays a route (B) of 2 km or more different from the Google Map route (A) → If the route (A) cannot be passed on private land or a route with traffic restrictions, please attach a screenshot of the route (B), a point where it cannot be passed, and the reason. We will judge by the attached route etc.

    Example of search in "Google Map"

    How to check the distance by car and how to create a transfer route map

    The maximum amount of electronic tickets used in the taxi transfer support project is determined according to the distance by car.
    As a general rule, electronic tickets are used when taking a taxi from the home of the target elementary school student to the nursery school, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to register in advance the transfer route (route by car) from home to nursery schools, including the boarding point and getting off point, as usage information.
    When applying, it is necessary to fill in the "distance from home (car)" and submit a transfer route map (route by car). Here, how to check the distance by car and create a transfer route map I will introduce how to make it.
