**About Active Transport**

The NSW Government wants walking and bike riding, known as active transport, to be the preferred way to make short trips and a viable, safe and efficient option for longer trips. We estimate that more than 1.5 billion walking and bike riding trips are taken per year across New South Wales. We want to double this number in 20 years.

Come and join the champions for walking and cycling in TfNSW with an exciting remit that takes a portfolio approach in directing, planning and delivering tangible and sustainable community facing outcomes. Active Transport is part of everything we do and critical for enabling and planning travel choices that are both human friendly and effective in supporting livable places. It is affordable, effective and available for the majority, enables our systems to be more resilient, and through change will allow more people to naturally make healthier lifestyle choices.
