Active Travel

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will allocate 10% of the transport budget to active travel to increase cycling levels.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Decisions on future Government funding for active travel will be a matter for the Spending Review, which is considering all transport expenditure in the round. Investment in active travel supports the Government’s economic growth, health and net zero missions, and the Department announced the details of almost £300 million of funding for active travel in 2024/5 and 2025/6 on 12 February.
