Sustainable transport options within the City of Ryde
Council is committed to supporting sustainable transport including the reduction of the use of cars and increasing the use of public transport, walking and cycling.
Transport Access Guides (TAGs) promote non-motorised transport and public transport by providing localised maps on reaching popular community destinations via sustainable transport. With the development of City of Ryde TAGs Council hopes to help reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse emissions.
Shopping area TAGs
These three guides show transport options for each area including bus interchanges, routes and bus stops; train stations, taxi ranks and car parks. Cycling and walking tracks are marked, as are pedestrian access/crossing and wheelchair access. You will also find post offices, hopsitals, churches, public toilets and parks marked on the guides.
City wide TAG
Provides a broad overview of the Ryde local government area with bus routes, rail stations, pedestrian access, walking and cycling tracks, plus information on important local characteristics linking each of the key shopping centres
Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy
The development of the TAGs was identified as an important component in the City of Ryde’s Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy and the TAGs complement the City of Ryde Bike Map which provides further detail on bike paths in Ryde.The TAGs were developed in consultation with a range of stakeholders including key advisory groups, shopping centre managements, schools and local chambers of commerce.
As funding becomes available future TAGs will be developed to include other key centres within Ryde.
TAGs providing information on how to travel safely and healthily to and from school by walking, bus and train, are part of the Go Active 2 School program. The City of Ryde has partnered with the NSW Health and St Charles Primary School to produce the fist of a series of TAGs for local schools.
