£2bn package to create new era for cycling and walking
Far more people will be cycling and walking thanks to plans to boost active transport, launched by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
Pop-up bike lanes with protected space for cycling, wider pavements, safer junctions, and cycle and bus-only corridors will be created in England within weeks as part of a £250 million emergency active travel fund - the first stage of a £2 billion investment, as part of the £5 billion in new funding announced for cycling and buses in February.
