Funding Opportunities

There have been a number of changes in the way that funding for active and sustainable travel is allocated across Scotland. Transport Scotland have revised the delivery of Behaviour Change and Access to Bike interventions ( People and Place Programme), with more direct funding and control now being held at a local level .

This means that funding is directly provided to Regional Transport Partnerships, who now have responsibility to develop a relationships with Local Authorities and Third Sector organisations to deliver the People and Place Programme.
