Let’s support more climate-friendly transport in our regions
We could be doing so much more in regional cities like Geelong, to make cycling a safe and viable alternative to driving. As someone who regularly bikes to work with my kids, safety is an issue I feel really passionate about and I know my constituents do too.
That’s why I asked the Government this week when they plan to deliver a comprehensive network of protected bike lanes in the Geelong region. If we’re serious about bringing down our emissions and getting people out of cars, then protected cycle lanes make sense – along with ramping up reliable public transport.
Thanks to our constituent who prompted the question and shared their own experience of biking through Geelong – we’ll keep you posted with what we hear back.
