In July 2014 the Australian Bicycle Council published a report that outlines the progress made on the National Cycling Strategy in 2013. In this third year of the National Cycling Strategy 2011-16: * Australian states and territories invested $112.8 million in cycling related infrastructure, education and promotion. * Bicycles outsold cars for the 14th year running with almost 1.4 million bicycles sold. * National cycling participation rates decreased slightly from 2011. * Cycling is being integrated in broader transport planning and land use planning. * "20-Minute Neighbourhoods" are being developed to increase short trips and improve livability. * Bicycle facilities are increasingly being designed with separation from motor vehicles. * Street design and speed limits are being used to facilitate street purpose. * A "Safe Systems" approach is being adopted to improve bicycle safety.
