FAQs

Active transport is defined as any means of transport that does not involve the use of a motorised vehicle, this includes walking including with the use of walking aids, wheelchairs and mobility devices; cycling and riding, including e-bikes, pedal trikes, and children’s bikes with training wheels. It excludes registered vehicles, such as mopeds.

Whether you are on foot, moving with the help of a mobility device, or pushing a child in a pram, walking is an important part of life for everyone. 

Walking and bike riding benefits everyone's health regardless of our age, and safer pathways and crossings help communities to stay healthy and spend quality time together. 

Walking and riding are economical modes of transport, that help to reduce noise pollution on our streets and make an important contribution to a more integrated and environmentally sustainable transport network for our city. 

The Active Transport Plan aims to create a cohesive, accessible and safe active transport network that serves both residents and visitors of the Blue Mountains.

The plan will provide a framework to prioritise future infrastructure investment, guide short-term and long-term delivery of active transport links and transform car-dominated road corridors into vibrant, people focused spaces.
