Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of funding issued under the Active Travel programme has been allocated to improving (a) cycling and (b) walking facilities in Staffordshire.
Over the past three tranches of active travel funding rounds beginning in 2020 a total of £2,385,500 of Active Travel funding has been awarded to Staffordshire. Funding is not defined by the proportion allocated to individual modes of travel. However, whilst it is not possible to determine the funding directly attributed to cycling or walking, the implementation of active travel schemes has a wider benefit beyond the scope of individual schemes, providing benefits to those who are walking, wheeling, or cycling.
