Decision details

To request authorisation to submit schemes to the Consolidated Active Travel Fund.

The submission of four schemes listed within the report to Active Travel England’s (ATE) assurance process is approved as part of the Consolidated Active Travel Fund submission process.

The submission of the schemes listed in this report is the next step required by ATE as part of the CATF approval process. The schemes meet the criteria, can be delivered within the funding window and within the budget available.

A sifting exercise was undertaken to assess potential schemes against the fund criteria. All schemes that are proposed to be taken forward for submission are of low/medium complexity and can be delivered within the funding window. Alternative options such as early development of schemes and change control options were discounted in order to focus on infrastructure delivery. Improving delivery of active travel schemes is a key element of NYC’s Capability Rating and is something that would go toward increasing our capability rating in the future which would have a positive impact on future active travel funding.
