Capability: Cycle Modelling
Many cities now recognise that provision of a connected network of safe and convenient cycle facilities can offer significant and sustainable benefits. To make optimal use of what is usually limited funding however, such a network should be planned to meet peoples’ travel needs.

The model has subsequently been used for applications for funding assistance, including for the Christchurch Major Cycle Routes programme, which is currently being implemented. |
