Active transport funding to get Australians moving

The Australian Government is investing to ensure our cities and regional centres across the country are more liveable, active and connected.

The upcoming 2024–25 Federal Budget will include $100 million for a new national Active Transport Fund that will upgrade and deliver new bicycle and walking paths.

This will support zero emissions travel, provide a safer environment for cyclists and pedestrians, and promote active and liveable communities.

The program guidelines will be developed in consultation with states and territories are expected to be made public ahead of a 1 July 2025 start.
