Cycling: Commuters

Friday 15th May 2020

Asked by: Anthony Mangnall (Conservative - Totnes)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to further encourage cycling as a form of commuting.

Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris

On the 9^th May the Government announced a £2bn package of funding for cycling and walking. This includes £250m which will encourage cycling to work through the provision of pop up bike lanes with protected space for cycling, safer junctions as well as vouchers for cycle repairs and greater provision for bike fixing facilities. This builds on the refreshed Cycle to Work Scheme Guidance published in 2019 which made it easier for employers to provide bicycles and equipment including e-bikes and adapted bikes worth over £1,000.
