Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to meet the 2025 cycling and walking targets in the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy; and what estimate he has made of the funding required to do so.

On 28 July 2020 the Prime Minister launched ambitious plans to boost cycling and walking, with the ambition that half of all journeys in towns and cities are cycled or walked by 2030. This includes a £2 billion package of funding for active travel over the next 5 years, which is the largest ever boost for cycling and walking, and will deliver transformational change.

The Department published in February 2020 the technical reports supporting its Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) Active Travel Investment Model. This was designed to identify the efficacy of and range of costs associated with a wide range of cycling and walking interventions.
