NSW Active Transport Strategy
The NSW Government wants walking and bike riding to be the preferred way to make short trips and a viable, safe and efficient option for longer trips. By encouraging more people to choose walking or bike riding for everyday journeys, we will improve neighbourhoods and the environment, reduce car use and traffic congestion and improve the general health of our communities.
We estimate that more than 1.5 billion walking and bike riding trips are taken per year across New South Wales. We want to double this number in 20 years.
