Transport for NSW

The NSW Government wants walking and bike riding, known as active transport, to be the preferred way to make short trips and a viable, safe and efficient option for longer trips.

Transport for NSW (Transport) is committed to raising the profile of bike riding as a healthy, low cost and environmentally friendly form of transport.

Lifeline and Bicycle NSW, in partnership with Transport, seek to;

Engage NSW’s public in active transport and cycling safety through the Spring Cycle
Support community members in NSW through Lifeline’s services
Encourage people to change their travel behaviour and lean into walking, riding and/or using micromobility across NSW
Showcase and promote use of the new active transport infrastructure in development or recently opened
Support long term health benefits for NSW residents through active transport; and
Establish riding, walking and micromobility as viable transport alternatives

We are working to improve the experience of riding as a mode of transport and have developed the Active Transport Strategy to outline the following key objectives:

Promote cycling as a viable and sustainable option for recreation and transport
Promote the benefits of physical of activities to support mental health and wellbeing
Promote walking and cycling to encourage behaviour change
Demonstrate improved safety and comfort of people walking and riding bikes in fit-for-purpose active transport infrastructure
Facilitate children and young people’s independent mobility
Support multimodal journeys by integrating active and public transport
Support emerging technology choices such as e-bikes and other micromobility devices
Enhance visitor and tourism experiences
Work with partners such as local government and industry to accelerate positive change
