Your Move Canning was the most recent iteration of the Western Australia Department of Transport’s best-in-class Your Move program.

This community-based initiative provided local information and personalised support to help residents and school communities shift towards active and public transport options, fostering stronger local connections and healthier lifestyles.

Your Move Canning placed a greater emphasis on school engagement than previous projects, with eight schools actively participating in an intensive school service.

This was one of the most integrated Your Move projects to date, combining targeted outreach to residents with a strong focus on school-based initiatives. The collaboration between the Department of Transport, the City of Canning, and Behaviour Design Works was instrumental in delivering behaviour change at both community and school levels. The project included tailored project resources, personalised coaching calls, local vouchers, and school competitions designed to drive long-term shifts in travel behaviour.

The school program played a key role in the project’s success, with dedicated School Engagement Officers working closely with teachers, students, and parents to increase walking and riding to school. Schools participated in bike education sessions, Active Travel Festivals, and regular Active Travel Days, helping to create a culture of sustainable transport from an early age.

The Your Move Schools Competition was particularly impactful, with 780 parents signing up to the residential service through school referrals.

Your Move Canning helped participants set achievable active travel goals, overcome barriers, and develop long-term habits. By strengthening relationships between residents, students, and local organisations, the project contributed to lasting changes in travel behaviour across the City of Canning.
