Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Over the course of the Third Cycling and Walking Strategy (CWIS3), Active Travel England is administering more than £760 million of devolved funding for walking, wheeling and cycling schemes and providing £135 million of revenue funding to support schools and community-focused programmes that will train and support millions of children to walk, wheel and cycle to school and support people to start cycling or ride again.

It is not possible to provide a breakdown of the projected wider funding for CWIS3 at this time, but further details will be published in future Reports to Parliament.
