- Develop an integrated network of shared paths and on-road bike lanes
- Provide safe access to schools, sport, recreation and community facilities
- Improve the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and other path users
Over the decade since its inception, the Regional Bicycle Network Grants Program has seen a significant improvement in safety for cyclists, pedestrians and other path users in regional areas. Other community benefits linked to the program include improvements in transport access, health and the environment owing to reduced pollution from traffic.
