More than two-thirds of people in Victoria want to ride their bikes, walk or engage in active transport more. Victoria doesn’t have enough safe bike lanes, walking paths and crossings, so people don’t always have the option.

For too long the Victorian Labor Government has underinvested in making riding and walking safer and more accessible.

To support people to take up bike riding and active transport, we need more safe bike lanes and better paths and crossings. Our streets are for everyone, and should work for everyone who uses them.

The Greens’ plan includes:

• $2.5 billion for a Big Bike Build of hundreds of kilometers of separated bike lanes and paths across metropolitan Melbourne and regional centers
• The funding would also go towards upgrades to our streets, footpaths and crossings to make them safer and easier for people to walk around
