Sydney Marathon shows us that Sydney can survive half a day closing one to the main north south corridors to the city to cars, and still move 41,000 people running in a marathon and thousands of volunteers.

It is possible to shut down Sydney Harbour Bride, Oxford Street and Anzac parade for half a day without the world turning into chaos, with the help of a few Behaviour changes tools.

Known as ‘unconferences’, TransportCamps are participant-driven events that bring together people who are passionate about improving transport and mobility for all. Uniquely, each event’s first activity sees attendees from across academia, community organisations, transport businesses, councils and government agencies set the day’s agenda by both pitching and voting for the sessions that most interest and inspire them.

Better Streets Board Director Jeremy Lawrence was on ABC News arguing against Yarra Council’s (Victoria) shortsighted decision to remove shared bikes from the streets of Yarra. 

Jeremy argued that the move risks undermining sustainable transport options across Melbourne and says the decision was a "step backwards". He argues that the problem lies not with the operator but with the lack of dedicated parking infrastructure for shared bikes.

Better Streets joined forces with WalkSydney to lodge our submission on the Walkable NSW Discussion Paper. With the support of our members’ lived experiences, we have presented eight clear, evidence-based recommendations for turning this paper into a real strategy.

Better Streets’ grassroots federal election campaign has resulted in a $500 million commitment over ten years, proving that safe streets, school routes and everyday transport choices can win real political ground through the actions of everyday citizens.
