Safer streets don’t happen by accident. Sara Stace has spent years working inside government and alongside communities to make walking, cycling, and public transport easier for you. From writing Australia’s National Active Transport Strategy to leading Better Streets, she knows what it takes to cut through red tape, bring people together, and make real changes to the places you move through every day.

In this People & Projects episode of the Streets and People podcast, Sara shares practical ways you can push for better streets. She breaks down the five key shifts Better Streets is working towards, explains how to get local councils on board, and shows why small wins add up. Whether you’re a transport professional, a policy maker, or just someone who wants to walk or ride without stress, this conversation will give you tools to make a difference.
