Increasing Active Transport Mode Share

This webinar was part one of a three-part webinar series to present the outcomes of the Austroads project 'Prioritising Active Transport'.

A wide range of Australian government agencies have a goal to increase the mode share for walking and cycling. Yet much of the data shows that active transport levels have stagnated over the last 15 years. This webinar presented data on Australian and overseas best-practice measures that can be implemented to grow the contribution of walking and cycling to transport systems across Australasia.

Participants learnt about the different categories of interventions that can be used to increase active transport mode share. They also learnt how a prioritisation framework can be used to select interventions that are the most impactful in boosting walking and cycling mode share, while also considering the cost and complexity of different interventions.

The webinar was presented by Dr Elliot Fishman and moderated by Andrew Somers.
