the Share the road campaign stakeholders

The Share the road Campaign is funded by the New Zealand Transport Agency. The Cycling Action Network (CAN) is the contract holder. The Campaign formerly called “Road User Workshops” has been running for almost a decade.

Our stakeholders from the trucking, bus and cycling communities give us vital support. Representatives from these sectors plus the NZ Police, ACC, Auckland Transport, Wellington Regional Council and others form a Key Stakeholder Group that meets several times a year as a de facto Board contributing to the ongoing development and improvements to the campaign workshop models and resources.

Share the road campaign key messages

For drivers

  • Driving behind a cyclist? Leave plenty of space

  • Cyclists ride further out from the kerb and parked cars because it’s safer

  • When you pass a cyclist, leave a buffer of space between you

For cyclists

  • Keep control of your bike and the situation

  • Ride to be seen and to be predictable

  • Choose safe routes
