About iWay

iWay is a scheme aimed at increasing the number of people walking and biking to work, school or for fun in the Hastings District.

Renamed iWay after Hastings District Council was awarded $4million from the New Zealand Transport Agency as part of the Model Community Project, we’re putting the money to good use by funding new and improved cycle lanes, developing commuter-specific routes, road upgrades and community safety programmes.

By 2013, iWay want to see a huge increase in the number of people making walking and cycling an everyday part of their lives and loving it as much as we do.

In a nutshell, we exist to:

• Prioritise upgrades to roads and footpaths
• Identify new commuter routes
• Enhance current cycle and walk tracks
• Educate kids in schools about the benefits of walking and cycling
• Provide opportunities to revive old bikes
• Help people make that first step
• Make it fun and learn to love it
• Build community spirit by making friends
• Save emissions to the environment
• Build an active and healthy community

A bunch of passionate walking and cycling advocates, iWay is based at Hastings District Council. We also work closely with the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, BikeOn and BikeNZ
