Integrating cycling with public transport in Victoria

The Institute for Sensible Transport was recently commissioned by the Victorian Department of Transport to undertake a technical evaluation of the carriage of bicycles on regional public transport. The report helped to better understand current levels of integration between cycling and public transport. It also provided forecasts for demand to 2020. It delivered a range of options for improving conditions for Victorians wishing to combine cycling with regional public transport. The report was handed to the Department of Transport in July 2010.
