Travel Options

Cycling

Here are some great reasons to give riding to work a go:

1. Health - feel great and reduce your likelihood of suffering from obesity, diabetes and heart disease. 
2. Save money - reduce the costs associated with driving to work or catching public transport. Petrol prices are going up: Calculate how much you spend on petrol ....and how much money could you save by riding to work!
3. Help the environment - reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Calculate your vehicle's greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Everyone is doing it! -  avoid traffic jams and commuter congestion by joining the bike riders. ADFA is a bike-friendly workplace having:
   - Bike racks
   - Showers and changing facilities
   - Lockers
   - A workforce tolerant of people wearing funny gear

I’d love to cycle to work but…

It’s too far
Take advantage of the bike racks on Action buses. Ride to your nearest intercity route, pop your bike on the rack & ride for free! Good hopping off points for ADFA are Civic Interchange, London Circuit East and the Albert Hall. www.action.act.gov.au/bike_n_ride.html

Northcott Drive is too steep and dangerous
See this map for the south-east route between Russell and Duntroon

Bus services

There are good Action bus services into ADFA.
