It’s a welcome step to have a plan that broadly sets out what the government will do to improve public and active transport over the next ten years and beyond so there’s a shared understanding of where we are heading. [...] Active transport The commitment to increase the number of people riding, walking or wheeling to 16% by 2033 and the commitment to All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling corridors are particularly important inclusions. [...] However, for the vision of a city connected by active transport corridors to be realised, the government needs to provide increased and consistent funding for planning and construction. [...] We still have too many gaps in the network, most notably through the centre of Hobart, and these need to be filled if people are going to choose to ride or scoot. [...] Using a bike/scooter to access ferry terminals and bus stops that are too far to walk to opens up the option of public transport for more people and more journeys.
