Active Travel: Finance
The question

Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The majority of this funding is being provided through devolved settlements to local authorities, including through the Mayoral Transport Fund, the Integrated Transport Fund and Integrated Settlement. It is for authorities to determine how to use this flexible cross-modal funding to meet local priorities.
Local authorities are encouraged to consider the objectives set out in the Third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy when planning and delivering interventions. The cross-modal funding will enable a wider range of infrastructure to include active travel provision, for example within transport interchanges and corridor schemes.
