On behalf of NZTA, ViaStrada is developing an Advanced Cycling Planning and Design Course to expand on the Fundamentals of Planning and Design for Cycling course. Training courses will start in September 2009.  Further details are available on the training course web page.

ViaStrada welcomes Government's announcement of a $50 million fund for National Cycleway initiatives.

ViaStrada is uniquely placed to assist with the planning, design and implementation of components of the National Cycleway. We are NZ's experts on cycling infrastructure. We would be more than happy to assist project sponsors with any of their planning and design needs.

ViaStrada has been commissioned by NZTA to administer the walking fundamentals, and deliver some of them. Courses will be held around the country over the next six months.

Adele Burbidge joined the Nelson office of ViaStrada on 9 April 2009 as a Planner.

This editorial (6 April 2009) from the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) provides compelling evidence for encouraging cycling from a health perspective.  We know what to do in our communities to significantly increase the safety of cycling and the numbers of cyclists. What is needed now is action.

ViaStrada entered two three-person relay teams in this year's Le Race, the iconic cycle race from Christchurch to Akaroa. And both teams brought home first prize. Congratulations!

Jon Ashford has joined the Christchurch office of ViaStrada as a Senior Engineer.

Those with a sharp eye may have spotted the five new ViaStrada icons on our website and other branded material.

The new icons better represent the full range of services offered by ViaStrada.

ViaStrada has won the overall Bike Wise Business Battle for nationwide organisations. Across our offices in Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin, we achieved a 100% staff participation rate. You can't go better than that!
