Active travel funding

The Active Travel Fund supports local authorities with grant funding for the development and/or construction of inclusive walking, wheeling and cycling schemes. To date, four rounds of active travel funding have been distributed to authorities across England. So far, Essex has received over £14M of this funding to roll out new cycling and walking routes across the county.

Our ambition is to make it more convenient and safer for our residents to walk or cycle, reducing congestion, cutting emissions and improving everybody's physical and mental wellbeing as well as giving our residents a choice in how they travel. We want to transform Essex into the walking and cycling county.

Details of the active travel funding for rounds 2, 3 and 4 are below.
