John Lieswyn: school travel planning expert
John leads ViaStrada’s school travel planning services. Based on his experience with school travel plans in the US, in 2016 John set up the New Zealand Travel Planners group with 24 members representing 14 local authorities. The group’s listserv collates resources and provides a forum for exchange of best practices in school and workplace travel planning.
2018 Aotearoa Bike Challenge
Last year, we conceded that ViaStrada sucks at cycling. We came 14th last year in our category (with 100% participation; go figure...), and we wouldn’t do any better this year. Now that the Aotearoa Bike Challenge is again upon us, we must face the truth once more.
So we shall withdraw our participation for 2018. Why? An organisation’s success gets measured by how many more staff you encourage to try out biking. But we can’t improve on 100% as all of us bike to work every day.
