Transport East welcomes the DfT’s new Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy
The Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom‘s new Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy is an encouraging step forward, providing £4.5bn in funding for an ambitious vision to enable more people to walk, wheel, and cycle. Aiming for over half of all short urban trips to be active by 2035, the commitment to deliver thousands of new routes and safer crossings is a welcome boost for infrastructure, making active travel a highly attractive option for everyday journeys.
Across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, we’re ready to support local authorities to deliver this vision. Our data and insight are tailored specifically to the East’s diverse communities, helping national ambition deliver meaningful local impact.
