The Australian government already contribute to active transport projects through our Infrastructure Investment program, Building Better Regions Fund, financial assistance grants, our road safety initiatives and our support for the Australian Bicycle Council. The Transport and Infrastructure Council agreed in August 2016 to the 2015 implementation report of the National Cycling Strategy and agreed to extend the funding for the Australian Bicycle Council until the end of 2017. It also agreed that the Transport and Infrastructure Senior Officials Committee would consider options for a national or state and territory approach to active transport for 2018 onwards. Safety is a priority of the government and we have a range of measures in place targeted at safety improvements on our national network.

Question agreed to.
