The ACT Legislative Assembly have backed the Greens’ plan to make clean transport cheaper and more accessible to Canberrans.

The Greens secured an ACT Government commitment to expand the Sustainable Household Scheme to include cargo bikes, as well as securing a commitment from the government to do more to actively encourage and support people to choose e-bikes and e-scooters as their transport of choice.

Canberrans can expect to see pop-up cycle lanes trialled across some of the Territory’s busiest transport corridors, creating safer, more accessible routes for cyclists.

Loan caps for electric vehicles under the Sustainable Household Scheme are slated to be increased, alongside an expansion of EV charging infrastructure across the ACT.
