Public transport/bicycle integration

The Institute for Sensible Transport has a comprehensive knowledge of the link between the public transport system and cycling.

Our understanding of world’s best practice is becoming increasingly called on as governments look to create a more integrated transport system in our major cities. We recently completed a major technical evaluation for the Victorian Department of Transport to find better ways of integrating cycling with the public transport system.

We are able to offer practical solutions to help create a seamless connection between the public transport system and cycling.

Our team is able to provide strategic and detailed advice on:

Linking bicycle routes to transport hubs
Providing secure bicycle parking at train stations
Carrying bicycles on public transport vehicles - including front racks on buses

Understanding the economic benefits of active transport

The Institute for Sensible Transport formed part of an international consortium that recently completed an economic assessment of the benefits of active transport. Commissioned by the Queensland Government, the report is amongst the most comprehensive evaluations of the health, transport and environmental impacts of walking and cycling. This is the first of two reports commissioned to gain a better understanding of how to integrate benefit cost analysis into walking and cycling programs.

The Executive Summary of the first report can be downloaded here (10MB).
