An infographic from the University of Southern Queensland illustrating road traffic stress (LTS) for cyclists and pedestrians in the Rangeville State School catchment area. It includes a series of maps showing isochrones (travel time zones) for walking and cycling, as well as a bar chart and an image of children riding bikes.

S1E39 P&P – Dr Anthony Kimpton talks about transport data trends, (P)GIS, empowering Councils and communities for better active transport

In this People and Projects episode, Wendy Nash interviews Dr. Anthony Kimpton, a lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland and an expert in urban planning and geographical information systems (GIS). Wendy and Anthony discuss his background in sociology and how it led to his work in planning and transport data. Anthony explains the importance of designing cities that prioritise walking and bike riding over cars to promote financial sustainability and public health. He also describes the use of GIS in urban planning, its evolution from static maps to interactive digital tools, and his current project focusing on participatory GIS (PGIS). This project aims to empower communities to engage in urban planning by identifying barriers and enablers in their local environments. The discussion also touches on Anthony’s experience teaching urban planning, his work with honours and PhD students, and the future of public transport and active communities in Australia.

On GetAroundCaboCarFree.com.au, you’ll see lots of tools and resources to bring more life and vibrancy to your streets and community.

Get Around Cabo Carfree is a community movement advocating for more transport options for people in Caboolture and Morayfield who can’t drive – and that is more than 4 in 10 people (a surprising not-so-fun fact about our town – check the About page for details). Our podcast has 3 broad topics.

Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair or on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD). 

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t drive for any reason. They may have a disability, on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed or they had a collision and now they’re too scared (you might be surprised why a person can’t drive and how the lack of alternatives impacts their daily living). This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions. 

People & Projects (P&P) are for transport advocates and people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders.

More than 4 in 10 people can't drive in Caboolture

Get Around Cabo Carfree is a community movement advocating for more travel options for people in
Caboolture & Morayfield. 

Our Goals

1. All children can ride to school on safe streets 

2. All young adults can get to work or study without needing a car so they begin adulthood without a debt of $15,000 a year. 

A lack of transport options leads to a high financial burden for
families, businesses and governments.

The only way we can be sustainable for the long term is with your help.
