Active Transport Strategy

Council has a role to play in creating an environment conducive to active transport, particularly through provision of infrastructure, planning and development, and in co-ordinating advocacy and awareness in partnership with health services.

Active transport relates to physical activity undertaken as a means of transport. It includes travel by foot, bicycle and other non-motorised vehicles. Use of public transport is also included in the definition as it often involves some walking or cycling to pick-up and from drop-off points.
