Active Travel: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensuring that local active travel funding is targeted towards communities most affected by transport poverty.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Active travel funding is provided as part of long-term consolidated transport settlements over the period 2026/27 to 2029/30. This flexible funding allows authorities to invest in line with local priorities, including to increase connectivity and reduce deprivation and transport poverty.
