Yes, Minister! A Submission to the Commonwealth
Postby Omar@Go-Alliance » Fri Jan 18, 2013 10:06 pm
We have been given the tick of support from NSW's BIKESydney and Leichhardt BUG and hope to add the names of more groups from all across Australia right here as they let me know.
To sign, just use this address: http://www.communityrun.org/p/yes-minister" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you do support it, please consider sharing it to others who may feel the same way. We have less than two weeks to get this in so please do all you can.

On BNA we are looking forward to better understanding Go! Alliance as it is a broad reaching initiative. The basics are that Go! Alliance advocates smart transport - and often bikes are smart and can be better integrated into our infrastructure and create advantages on many levels.

The folks at communityrun have been so impressed by the campaign that they have been featuring it on their front page!
Let's keep it going and bring others on board who may not cycle but do believe better options for travel and mobility must be at the centre of transport policy and expenditure. This is their chance to also be heard also.

The document has too many good bits to summarise. Just read it and hope we will one day get something close to this vision

Success!!! Minister Says "Yes!"
Postby Omar@Go-Alliance » Tue Apr 02, 2013 10:22 pm
Wow! Well, thanks to many of you we made a real impact that has been recognised by the (Yes) Minister in a speech last week and he has committed to take on the main message of our petition and make changes that will see improvements made whenever the Commonwealth funds projects.
Minister Albanese recognised "Almost half the submissions have come from private individuals — including one petition with two thousand signatures!" and announced "a 'positive provisioning' policy for federally funded projects. In making the announcement Minister Albanese said, 'This will mean that federally funded urban transport infrastructure projects must consider whether provision has been made for appropriate cycling and walking paths.' It means to get federal money to build infrastructure states must evaluate walking and cycling infrastructure as part of the project."
"It puts the emphasis on states to ensure that active travel options are considered at the time of design of projects and not as an afterthought and retrofitting which produces higher costs and often less suitable outcomes."
The full text is here http://anthonyalbanese.com.au/launch-of ... ion-dinner.
So, thanks to our combined efforts we have made an impact that has been noticed and will hopefully now be embedded as policy - regardless of the party in power. Thank you again for your contribution to this outcome!!!

That's a great outcome. I hope you can get them to look at Boris's vision for London too -that has a lot of great points in it as was said above.Omar@Go-Alliance wrote:"It puts the emphasis on states to ensure that active travel options are considered at the time of design of projects and not as an afterthought and retrofitting which produces higher costs and often less suitable outcomes."
