Personal mobility
The Australian Capital Territory today announced the new “Make the Move” initiative.
Encouraging Canberrans to shift towards zero-emissions transport, the ACT government “will run a six-week support program for workplaces to enable employees to trial active travel for commuting to and from work, as well as travelling for work meetings or events.”
ACT Minister for Emissions Reduction, Shane Rattenbury, said: “Participating businesses will receive tailored workshops for their workplace, as well as the use of electric bikes and scooters.”
“E-bikes have been provided to Truefitt & Hill, Annex, Early Childhood Australia, and Icon Water for their staff to trial and document their experiences, providing valuable information on the benefits, challenges and avoided emissions.”
