Comments attributed to Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"WA Bike Month funding provides a great opportunity for community groups, workplaces and schools to discover and share in the fun and benefits of bike riding.
"Active travel plays a big part in making our local communities vibrant, liveable and connected; applying for a WA Bike Month grant is a fantastic way to complement this and to also encourage people of all ages and abilities to explore the bike riding network.
"We're also excited to offer a new funding package this year, making it easier than ever for schools to participate in WA Bike Month and have the tools they need to hold safe, fun and engaging activities.
"Our government is proud to support initiatives that make walking, wheeling and riding enjoyable and accessible for everyone."
