The Active Transport Fund (ATF) is part of the Australian Government’s commitment, under the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30, to improve road safety outcomes, including for vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians. The program also supports the Australian Government’s commitment to reducing transport emissions and supporting active and liveable communities.
The ATF is an ongoing, application-based, merit-assessed, funding program, open to all state and territory governments and Local Government Authorities. The program provides funding for the upgrade of existing, and construction of new, bicycle and walking pathways across Australia.
In the 2026–27 Budget, the Australian Government committed ongoing funding of $50 million per year for the ATF.
