Recognise the interdependence of transport infrastructure, town planning and health. ACP will fight for government to invest in cycling infrastructure – as it is a healthy mode transport that will reduce obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

ACP will fight to ensure cycle-paths and other active transport is provided. Governments are talking, we will negotiate investment at the federal, state and local government levels. Infrastructure Australia’s Strategic Plan does not even mention cycling – a travesty we will change.

Foster a culture of respect for cyclists to enhance their safety. ACP is researching the world’s best-practice for cycling signage, motorist awareness and mutual respect – we will argue for improved cycling environments – both physical and attitudinal.

Ensure laws encourage cycling and for cyclists and motorists to co-exist. ACP will promote cycling participation and challenge punitive laws and exorbitant fines to cyclists. ACP will also create and promulgate cycling awareness programs amongst motorists.

Provide integrated public transport and cycling infrastructure. ACP will negotiate for secure bike storage at train stations and shopping centres and space to store bikes on trains, light rail, ferries and buses.

Embracing community engagement to demand governments to act. ACP will galvanise the cycling community and form strategic alliances with cycling advocacy groups and clubs and others to demand investment in safe cycling infrastructure.
