"The Minister for Roads and Ports, Tim Pallas, announced a $821,000 funding boost for cyclist and pedestrian safety across Victoria. Mr Pallas said the investment would fund eight projects, designed to improve the safety and mobility of those who prefer two legs and two wheels than cars. “Cycling and walking are increasing in popularity for both recreational purposes and for commuting,” Mr Pallas said. More and more people are leaving their cars at home and riding or walking, or catching public transport. This funding is targeting these road users, to ensure their journeys are enjoyable and safe.”
