Micro-Mobility Conference: Australia's first Active Transport Minister, Rob Stokes, welcomes delegates to the country's first Micro-mobility conference

Rob Stokes (pictured) is Australia's first Active Transport Minister and was excited to welcome delegates to the country's first Micro-Mobility Conference in Sydney on November 25/26. An impressive array of speakers, including Lucy Saunders, talked about how she had created the "Healthy Streets" program in the United Kingdom and how she had taken the idea to countries all around the world, told those at the conference about how we could all go further with less. Micro-mobility, is about many things, among them simply making life easier and better for all people, but is a key plank in preparing communities for the rigours of the climate crisis. As the smartphone was a societal disruptor, micro-mobility is poised to engender equally seismic changes in how we live and go about our daily affairs.
