ViaStrada in conjunction with NZ Transport Agency runs a series of industry training courses (fundamental and advanced) to introduce the principles of planning and design for cycling in New Zealand. The content of these training courses reflects NZTA's Cycling Network Guidance, which ViaStrada has been involved in developing and updating since 2016. We have also developed guidance for NZ Cycle Trails and rail crossings.

NZ Supplement to Austroads GTEP Part 14 Bicycles
This project filled a big hole in New Zealand at the time. Austroads guidance was not always appropriate for New Zealand, and we have different road signs and markings. Practitioners needed local advice on how to design and implement cycle facilities. Transit (now NZTA) put up its hand in the national interest and agreed to fund the project.
