Free online Zoom Webinar organised by the Metropolitan Transport Forum on behalf of 26 Melbourne councils representing over 4 million residents.

We have assembled a diverse panel of Federal election candidates from the major parties plus a high profile independent to discuss cycling and the Federal election.

Alongside state and local government, our politicians in Canberra can make a major contribution to cycling through road funding and other urban infrastructure projects.

Cycling and active transport have increased in popularity during COVID and are crucial to efforts to boost sustainable transport.

This forum will allow the speakers to articulate what actions our next government should and will take to make our cities more liveable, make cycling safer, and boost the uptake of sustainable transport.

Senator Janet Rice
Greens Senator for Victoria and life long transport activist.

Andrew Giles MP (Scullin)

Monique Ryan

The Hon Kevin Andrews
