The Tasmanian Government is committed to encouraging people to walk, wheel or ride as part of their everyday travel.

Walking, wheeling and riding play an important role in making the Tasmanian transport network more resilient, safe and equitable. This increases the use and efficiency of our transport corridors, and delivers health, environmental and economic benefits.

Most Tasmanians walk, wheel or ride for recreation, enjoyment or to get around. These terms refer to people:

• getting around on foot
• using a wheelchair, pram, skateboard, roller blades or mobility aid
• riding a bike or micromobility device such as an e-bike, scooter, cargo bike or trike.

As part of the 2018 election, the Tasmania Government committed to updating the Tasmanian Walking and Cycling Strategy for Active Transport in consultation with local government, as well as providing regular implementation updates.

The Department of State Growth has progressed the update through undertaking targeted stakeholder engagement to ensure the strategy acts as a contemporary framework to guide Tasmanian state and local government policy, planning and investment in active transport and micromobility.

We are now looking for broader feedback from the Tasmanian community.
