Active Travel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of prioritising active transport schemes.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government recognises the merits of prioritising investment in active travel schemes to support its economic growth, health and net zero missions. Active travel can help to revitalise high streets, enable people to live longer, healthier lives and reduce transport emissions. The Department announced the details of almost £300 million of funding for active travel in 2024/25 and 2025/26 on 12 February.
