Question
To ask the Scottish Government, regarding recommendation 6 of the second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2), what the timescale is for (a) allocating and (b) spending the travel behaviour change grant funding by Regional Transport Partnerships (RTPs).
Answer
A new model for delivery of active travel behaviour change interventions has been introduced for 2024-25. The People and Place programme will be delivered by Scotland’s seven Regional Transport Partnerships (RTPs). Grant offer letters have been issued to all of the RTPs which contain the information required for drawing down funding from their allocation once the grant offer is accepted. This funding will be available to the RTPs, working with their delivery partners, to spend on behaviour change interventions during the 2024-25 financial year.
