We work with government, industry and community members to advocate for everyone to be able to enjoy safe and convenient access to riding and all the benefits that come with it.
More people riding benefits the whole community. Individuals benefit from better physical and mental health, increased opportunities for social connection, and saving money (and often time) when riding for transport. These individual benefits in turn create stronger, more resilient communities. When the built environment is developed to support people to use bikes and eRideables for transport, everyone benefits from cleaner air, safer streets and a more vibrant and inclusive society.
To advocate for more people to be able to enjoy the benefits of riding, WestCycle:
Attends stakeholder engagement for various projects across WA to represent people using bikes and eRideables.
Access to more than 60 under-threat trails in popular Manning Park in Hamilton Hill will continue after the City of Cockburn this week resisted pressure to close them from some community quarters over environmental concerns.
WestCycle has joined a national coalition of transport and public health organisations providing practical measures that would help households cut fuel use and ease cost of living pressures by making it easier to walk, ride and use public transport for everyday trips.
Marking World Bicycle Day on 3 June, WestCycle has released new analysis of the WA Government’s Perth Area Travel and Household Survey (PATHS), showing that most people who ride in Perth during the working week do so for everyday transport, and that short trips best suited to riding are overwhelmingly still made by car.
In National Reconciliation Week, WestCycle celebrates the history, culture, and achievements of First Nations Australians.
