Austroads and the Cycling and Walking Australia and New Zealand (CWANZ) will host a webinar to share learnings from Western Australia’s Safe Active Streets Pilot Program.
The pilot program, designed to encourage more people to walk, wheel and ride in their communities, has been developed, trialled and evaluated by the Department of Transport Western Australia in collaboration with Western Australian local governments.
The pilot program trialled and adapted common local area traffic management treatments to create 30 km/h environments with unique designs that reflect local community needs.
This webinar explores the origins of the program, how and why it started. It will share high-level insights from the evaluation, including what worked, what didn’t and what was learnt along the way. It will also share ‘where to next’ for the program and how this work will be used to inform guidelines to support the delivery of safe active street infrastructure by local government into the future.
The webinar will be presented by Caroline Elliott and Liza Picton from the Urban Mobility Team at the Department of Transport Western Australia.
There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.

This webinar is part of the CWANZ webinar series. CWANZ is the Australasian lead reference group for walking and bike riding on transport and recreation networks. For further information please visit www.cwanz.com.au.
