NSW cycling actions

Get on your bike - and ride

The NSW Government is working in partnership with local councils, communities and businesses to grow bike riding in communities across the State. Cycling is on the rise in NSW, and actions are already under way to support continuing growth. Additionally, the current NSW cycling action plan is being reviewed during work, led by Transport for NSW, on a new Long Term Transport Master Plan for the State.

NSW cycling action plan

Launch of the Bicycleinfo website as a comprehensive, whole-of-NSW Government information source is one important action to encourage cycling in NSW. Bicycleinfo is your portal to information on other NSW Government infrastructure, marketing and strategic policy initiatives that aim to:

Double by 2016 the share of short trips by bike in Greater Sydney, for all travel;
Increase cycle commuting for the journey to work, across all of NSW;
Connect Sydney's major centres by building missing links in the Metro Sydney Bike Network;
Accelerate the development of subregional bike networks for Parramatta, Liverpool and Penrith, to grow cycling in these three River Cities;
Help councils complete neighbourhood cycleway networks in regional cities and towns across NSW.

Support for cycling is an important part of the NSW Government's plans for a healthier, cleaner and fairer State - so get on a bike and ride.
