NZ walking and cycling strategies: best practice

Land Transport New Zealand (formerly Transfund New Zealand) in July 2004 commissioned research on best practice for walking and cycling strategies using all known New Zealand strategies and a selection of international strategies. A multi-agency project team was established including a number of walking and cycling experts from several different consulting firms, assisted by a reference group drawn from local, regional and national government agencies and walking and cycling groups. The research project involved reviewing existing walking and/or cycling strategies, surveying transportation professionals in local and regional councils and describing best practice from the perspectives of those involved. This project aimed to simplify the task of practitioners in developing new walking and/or cycling strategies or reviewing existing strategies. This paper describes the research and helps to disseminate the research findings. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E213900.
