Projects we funded

Funding was available during 2017/18 for community-focussed projects that encourage riding a bike as a regular transport option, and/or improve cycle safety, and contribute to the normalisation of cycling in Auckland. For example:

  • Projects that encourage the uptake of cycling as a transport choice.
