Active Travel: Business
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to encourage active travel for business use.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
As set out in the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published on 12 June, the Government is projected to invest £4.5 billion up to 2030 for active travel. This includes £1.1 billion of funding for Active Travel England, of which £760 million will be provided to local authorities to help them deliver local walking, wheeling and cycling schemes, including to support active travel for business use and for commuting.
ATE is additionally providing £3.1 million to the Modeshift Sustainable Travel Accreditation and Recognition Scheme (STARS) programme up to 2028/29, which also supports travel planning for businesses.
