Greater Hobart Cycling Strategies
The 30-year Hobart City Deal plan recognises that "walking and cycling should be promoted as viable and desirable forms of transport across Greater Hobart. The main challenges are to generate sufficient behavioural change to make a difference and to undertake the necessary capital works to increase the opportunities or attractiveness of active transport. Some areas are relatively poorly serviced in this regard." The state government has established grant programs and developed policies and guidelines to support councils in the implementation of the Greater Hobart Cycling Plan.
