Abstract

This report provides an overview of active transport in Townsville. Prior to the worldwide proliferation and reliance on automobiles, the world used active modes to travel as part of their daily routine. Promoting local engagement in active transport will offer many benefits for residents and the community, not least of which is the health and environmental benefits. This report provides some preliminary insight into what evidence is available and uses a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing this question.
