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

Help us make it happen! Read our Open Letter and email your local candidates using the form 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️💡

Please note: We have collated a candidate list for federal electorates located in capital city areas and large regional cities due to our focus on creating active travel networks in high population areas, as per the asks outlined in our Open Letter. Candidates with publicly available email addresses have been added.

If you can't see your electorate in this form, you can find your local candidates on the ABC Election website (https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/2025/guide/electorates-by-state). Feel free to find their contact details and send them an email manually, using our email template as a base.
