Active Travel: Electric Scooters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the decision to extend UK e-scooter rental trials until 2028 on (a) private and (b) public funding of active travel infrastructure.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department has made no specific assessment of the impact of e-scooter trial extensions on active travel infrastructure investment.
In the Spending Review we announced £616 million for Active Travel England from 2026-27 to 2029-30 to support local authorities to build and maintain walking and cycling infrastructure.
