Cycling safety action plan 2014-2016

Brief description

This action plan has been developed in consultation with a range of stakeholders from the cycling and motoring community and infrastructure providers. It is an opportunity for the NSW Government and cycling stakeholders to work together to make real improvements to reduce road trauma to bicycle riders.
This three year action plan includes a range of interventions that aim to improve interactions between motorists and bicycle riders, undertaking research, improving communications, and promote cycling as an important safe form of transport – not just a leisure activity. It also supports the implementation of the Sydney’s Cycling Future.
The NSW Government has developed Sydney’s Cycling Future plan as part of the Long Term Transport Masterplan, with an aim to double the mode share of cycling for transport as identified in NSW 2021. A particular focus of this is Sydney and catchments of five and 10 kilometres to major transport hubs.
