This active travel option will help us manage congestion, reduce energy consumption and pollution and make Canberra a cleaner, greener, better place to live today and into the future.

The ACT Government has committed $700,000 over three years as part of the Transport for Canberra budget package to construct bike and ride facilities along the rapid transport corridor network. The Commonwealth has supported this sustainable transport investment with additional funding of $255,000 in 2010 through the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.

Bike and Ride allows you to lock your bicycle in a bike cage, rail or locker during the day and transfer to a bus for the rest of your trip. You pay a normal bus fare, with no additional charge to park your bike at a bike > park > ride facility.
