This Government remains committed to the vision that by 2030 half of all journeys in towns and cities are walked or cycled. Over £3 billion is projected to be invested in active travel up to 2025 from a wide range of funding streams, despite the need for efficiency savings across Government due to global financial pressures.

This includes at least £100 million of dedicated capital funding and £150 million of dedicated revenue funding between 2023-24 and 2024-25. Decisions on future funding will be made following a future Spending Review.
