Living Streets Canberra welcomes the ACT Government’s vision of an integrated transport network that ‘will enable people in Canberra to plan and enjoy seamless, multi-modal travel’.

‘Seamless, multi-modal travel’ can be thought of as a chain of travel modes. A chain, though, is only as strong as its weakest link. Walking is the weakest link in Canberra’s transport system and in the draft Integrated Transport Strategy. 

The reality is that, both on the ground in Canberra and in the draft Strategy document, walking is given the least priority.

Every journey involves some walking, and so walking must be given priority and prominence.

In our latest submission we provide feedback on the draft Strategy document, advise on priorities and make some suggestions. Read more here.
