The Tasmanian Walking and Cycling for Active Transport Strategy aims to create a safe, accessible and well connected transport system that encourages more people to walk and cycle as part of their everyday journeys.
The Strategy is a key initiative under the Tasmanian Urban Passenger Transport Framework, as it outlines the Tasmanian Government’s plan to create a more supportive and encouraging environment for pedestrians and cyclists. Cycling and walking are important transport options now and for the future and will make our communities more liveable and better connected and our people healthier and physically active.
The vision supports the priority areas of the Tasmanian Urban Passenger Transport Framework to:
· Reduce greenhouse emissions
· Create liveable and accessible communities
· Increase travel reliability
· Encourage healthy, active communities
· Integrate transport and land use planning.
