Cycling Safety in Victoria

Abstract

The Victorian Government is currently making a substantial investment of an additional $115 million over 12 years towards cycling infrastructure in support of the Victorian Cycling Strategy, which was launched in March 2009. The strategy has a vision for cycling as a safe, readily available, convenient and preferred transport option for Victorians. It aims to develop and improve bike paths, lanes and other facilities, as well as running campaigns to promote road rules around bicycles and the shared use of Victoria’s roads.
