Make Walking & Cycling a National Priority!

Better Streets is calling for a major boost in active transport funding ahead of the 2025 federal election. Right now, the Australian Government spends just $0.90 per person—we're pushing for $15 per person per year over the next decade (for more information check out the article in The Conversation).

We’re urging all political parties to commit to $400 million annually for walking and cycling infrastructure, funding:
✅ Safe, connected walking and cycling networks in 15 regional cities
✅ Comprehensive networks of Cycling “Superhighways” and pedestrian crossings in major capitals
✅ E-bike subsidies, like successful programs in Tasmania & Queensland

✅ Enabling kids to walk and bike to school
✅ A dedicated unit within the Australian Government to oversee the active transport program
