Walking is the most basic form of transport, and yet many of us aren’twalking enough.In our time-pressured lives, we have undervalued the most fundamentalway of getting from A to B.The Pedestrian Access Strategy is a plan for pedestrians – to get more ofus walking on an improved network of paths in our cities, towns andneighbourhoods.While motivated by the need to reduce congestion and improve transportefficiency, the benefits of making our neighbourhoods more walkable will bea healthier population and a safer and cleaner environment.The Pedestrian Access Strategy considers the reasons behind a significantdrop in the number of people who walk to work and school since the 1970s.For more than 30 years there has been a marked decline in the number ofpeople walking in Victoria. Understanding why we aren’t walking more iscritical to turning this around, building on upward trends now appearing.The Pedestrian Access Strategy looks at ways we can partner with localgovernment to promote walking as a top of mind choice for busy people,especially for short trips and in combination with public transport.It sets out the steps to deliver more pedestrian-friendly public spaces thatare safe for walking, and better connections with trains, trams and buses tomake public transport the easiest travel choice.By valuing walking as an important mode of transport, we can encouragemore Victorians to walk more often.Tim Pallas MPMinister for Roads and PortsThe Pedestrian Access Strategy | Page 3 of 44 pages
