In 2020 the NSW Government presented the 24-Hour Economy Strategy. The Strategy lays out a unified vision that will transform Greater Sydney into a 24-hour economy centre that is vibrant, diverse, inclusive and safe.
One of its 5 strategic pillars includes:
- Explore ways to enhance mobility and improve connectivity between 24-hour hubs through safe and reliable transport
The report states, “The goal is to create interconnectivity between public transport, on-demand services and ‘active’ modes of transport, such as cycling and walking, 24-hours a day.”
Through Emicro, we know first-hand the importance and the benefits of bicycle infrastructure within our urban areas. These include:
- Easy access to explore and experience what the city has to offer
- Promotion of sustainable practices
- Provides security and reduces bike theft
The repost continues, “There is an opportunity to make travel a much more integrated part of the 24- hour experience, which enhances, rather than detracts from a night out — how we create more enjoyable, inspiring and even entertaining environments along commuter pathways at night.”
