In the financial year 2022-23 the Department provided approximately £200 million of dedicated capital funding for active travel and approximately £71 million of dedicated revenue funding. These figures do not include the funding for active travel schemes that came from wider funding streams such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS).

The Department has confirmed that a total of at least £100m of dedicated capital funding for active travel will be provided over the two-year period 2023/24 to 2024/25, and is currently finalising the revenue budget for active travel for those years as part of its consideration of all future spending plans. Again, this does not include funding for active travel schemes from wider funding streams.
