The UK government has committed to providing £4.5 billion in funding to support the expansion of active travel initiatives across the nation. This financial pledge aims to back efforts focused on encouraging walking and cycling as sustainable forms of transport.

These funds are targeted at meeting active travel goals set for the year 2035, reinforcing the government’s efforts to foster healthier, more environmentally friendly transport options.
