Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Travel England will release data gathered from councils across England which conducted self-assessments on their active travel performance.

Active Travel England (ATE) completed its first ever assessment of local authorities’ active travel capability in autumn 2022. Every local transport authority assessed themselves and assigned themselves a rating. These ratings were then moderated by ATE officials to give each authority an assigned capability level.

ATE plans to publish a report shortly, which will summarise the moderated ratings, how the self-assessment process was developed, and how it will be utilised in future funding rounds.
