The NZ Transport Agency recently announced that New Plymouth and Hastings will collectively receive funding of $7.28m to become New Zealand's first walking and cycling model communities.

Through this funding we’re also encouraging councils to integrate walking and cycling into their transport planning and other initiatives.
