In the business planning process last year, the Department provisionally allocated a total of £146m to Active Travel England in the 2024-25 financial year. This comprises £54m capital and £92m revenue funding. The Department’s business planning process for the 2024/25 financial year is ongoing and final plans will be published in due course.

This is only one element of over £3 billion that is being invested in active travel over the course of this Parliament, from a wide range of funding streams from across Government. This includes funding from the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements and the Levelling Up Fund.
