Local Government Cycling Participation Survey

We are very pleased to offer councils the opportunity to register for the Australian Local Government Cycling Participation Survey 2012.

The Australian Local Government Cycling Participation Survey 2012 will provide robust quantitative data about cycling in your municipality.

Participating councils will be provided with information about:

• % of residents that ride a bike in a typical week, month and year
• cycling participation by gender
• cycling participation by age
• the purpose of bicycle riding (including a range of transport journeys)
• the number of bicycle trips and time spent riding, and
• the number of bicycles in households.

The data will allow councils to set benchmarks for cycling strategies, understand how residents use bicycles and identify opportunities for behaviour change and promotions.

Your council is invited to participate.

The National Cycling Participation Survey, conducted in March 2011, provides comparative data on a national and state/territory level. The survey results provided the baseline data for the National Cycling Strategy which aims to double the number of Australian who cycle by 2016. When the national survey was conducted in 2011 a number of councils participated. Councils will be invited to participate in the national survey again in 2013 and 2015.
