Cycling > Getting Australia Moving

Client: Commonwealth Government

The Institute for Sensible Transport, in partnership with the Cycling Promotion Fund developed the most comprehensive Australian report on the health impacts of cycling.

Commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, the report calculated the $/km saved by cyclists in terms of health costs, carbon emissions and congestion.

The report provided a range of recommendations to the Commonwealth Government, including: 

• Urban planning and bicycle infrastructure development
• Mass marketing campaigns to promote cycling
• Bicycle education programs in all schools
• Behaviour change initiatives
