We are Lightfoot.
The Lightfoot Initiative Charitable Trust grew out of the increasing sense of urgency we have about climate change. But it’s more than that.
For the past century, how we use urban spaces has been dictated by the need to accommodate cars. This no longer feels right.
We’re not telling you to ditch your car – we just think that communities are more than roads. This isn’t about a two-wheeled revolution – it’s just about re-imagining transport use to serve the individual, the community and the planet.
The Lightfoot Initiative is an incorporated, registered charity governed by a board of trustees.
Our team is supported by a group of dedicated volunteers who are helping to deliver our many projects.

OUR PURPOSE.
Lightfoot’s purpose is to benefit communities within the Queenstown Lakes District by supporting the development and use of safer, healthier and more sustainable transport networks that encourage widespread mode shift and greater community connection.
We are committed to the following principles:
Equity – Everyone should be able to access active travel options
Kaitiakitanga – Kaitiaki of this district should ensure it is healthy for future generations
Global responsibility – Local actions protect the global environment
Community – Connected people live, work and play better together
Cumulative action – Many small steps create big change
Strategic Plan to 2024
The Lightfoot team have traveled a long way, in a short time. See where we’ve come from, and where the journey will take us over the next 12 months.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR Volunteers.
