Transport Scotland is committed to increasing levels of walking & cycling as transport modes and as leisure activities.
In order to achieve this, we support a number of organisations and initiatives including:
- providing project funding to Sustrans, Cycling Scotland, Living Streets, Energy Saving Trust, and The Bike Station to promote active and sustainable travel
- encouraging local authorities to develop cycling strategies as part of their local transport strategies and to link these with education and health improvement initiatives, and targets in their Single Outcome Agreements
- providing support to local authorities for cycling projects through dedicated allocations for cycling, walking and safer streets (CWSS) projects
- tackling the school run by promoting school travel plans and active travel projects like the Safe Routes to School Initiative
