1. Checklists and resource materials that will help create physical and social environments to encourage cycling. The resource materials include references, guidelines and other resources to assist in the implementation of local bikeability audits and actions.

2. Guidance, information and help communities and local government to assess the bikeability of their community to develop better integrated cycle planning, policies and implementation strategies.

3. Resulting in -

(i) safety improvements

(ii) enhanced access to cycling

(iii) changes in modal share of short trips from car to bicycle

(iv) improved liveability; and

(v) increased physical activity through active transport.

4. Aims of the Bikeability Toolkit:

To provide a simple, easy to use checklist that identifies barriers and opportunities to create physical environments which encourage cycling, and provides further resources

To allow local government, state government, developers and community to assess its strengths and identify areas where improvement can be made to encourage and promote cycling

To provide ideas and ‘easy to access’ resources for further information
