It was all aboard a WestCycle-driven Healthy Streets Bike Bus recently as part of the Asia-Pacific Society for Physical Activity (ASPA) Conference that drew an international audience to Perth! 
Â
WestCycle Active Transport Manager Dr Georgia Scott ‘drove’ the Bus that saw physical activity researchers grappling with active transport issues while receiving a street-level introduction to the Healthy Streets framework that has so many great ideas about people-first urban design from safety to shade to shelter.
Â
WestCycle Transport Advisory Group members were active, with Maurice Berger giving input, and Shannon Leigh sharing her experience of the Healthy Streets Design Check.
Â
Another Transport Advisory Group member, Matthew ‘Tepi’ Maclaughlin, was influential on the organising committee of the 3-day ASPA conference itself where sessions brought physical activity and active transport research and practice together.
Â
These included the Department of Transport sharing its work on how to improve the experience of using our active transport network.
