Will is a transport and city planner with global experience. His career has seen him navigating a Routemaster bus across France; securing funding for green walls on stations; buying a tractor from Austria; implementing the Melbourne Free Tram Zone; writing numerous city-wide strategies; advising on major infrastructure and co-chairing a security taskforce. While working at GTA Consultants Will has provided advice to all levels of Government on how to balance movement, place and security in working and changing cities. Over the past few years, he has publicly advocated in national media and with City Mayors, for transport and infrastructure decision making to consider place, transport and security by design more holistically.

Twan brings in experience of planning and design of active mode projects in the Netherlands, Scotland and New Zealand. His particular interest is in enabling communities and taking them along on the journey in the design and delivery of infrastructure.

Ben is heavily involved in the route selection, public consultation, scheme and detailed design and construction of cycling facilities in Christchurch, where he is based, as well as in many other parts of New Zealand. He has worked almost purely in this field since 2014, and has a background in a variety of other transportation activities. Ben has designed many kilometres of cycle facilities in urban, suburban and industrial environments, along with dozens of intersections. This has given him a vast range of experience and lessons to draw from in his design practice. Whilst much of his work has been focused on cycling projects, Ben is a firm believer that a cycleway is an opportunity to bring benefits to a community that extend beyond cycling.

For twenty years at Cycling Action Network, Patrick has worked with members, supporters, decision makers and the wider community to make New Zealand better for cycling. We've had some big wins (NZ Cycle Trails, and the Urban Cycleways Programme) but there are still too many headwinds. His job includes serving CAN's members, creating strategy, building relationships, leading campaigns, organising events, getting messages into social and traditional media, and building CAN's organisation.

I have been a Health Promoter with the Canterbury District Health Board's Public Health Unit for the past 12 years. This role has allowed me to set up and support many community active transport projects such as the Christchurch Walking Festival, Frocks on Bikes, bike fix up workshops and cycling projects for migrants and former refugees. Prior to working in Public Health I was an Occupational Therapist in the mental health sector. Even then I would cycle, walk, run and (occasionally) bus to work, so I always "got" active transport, and experienced it's many benefits before I knew they were a well researched, evidence-based "thing". In my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening, running and cycling. In the few weeks before lock down we cycle toured up to Taranaki, around the mountain , stopping to attend WOMAD.
