Taking place in October each year, WA Bike Month aims to promote and encourage people of all ages and abilities to ride bikes for transport, fun and a healthier lifestyle. WA Bike Month is an initiative of the State Government and funded by the Department of Transport. It has run for over 30 years and continues to be valued by local governments and communities across metropolitan and regional WA.
As part of WA Bike Month 2024, a total of $75,000 in grant funding will be available to local governments, workplaces, schools, bike groups and community organisations to host events that support and inspire people to give bike riding a go.
DoT contributes $50,000 annually for grants and for a second year, has partnered with RAC, which is contributing $25,000 towards the grant funding.
