Travelfund Workplace Infrastructure Grants
Decision Maker: Service Director – Environment , Highways, & Waste
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Up to £10,000 of grant funding from the
Department for Transport Capability Fund will be utilised to offer
‘TravelFund’ grants. Businesses and organisations with
paid employees will be eligible to apply for grants of up
£1500 to purchase pedal bikes and/or bike parking stands to
support sustainable business journeys. Applicants will be able to
apply for up to 2 pedal bikes and up to 6 bike stands.
Two previous grant schemes have offered e-bikes and e-cargo bikes
for business travel and both have been heavily oversubscribed. This
smaller project offers businesses the opportunity to benefit from a
quality pedal bike for everyday business journeys. It also seeks to
enable more employees to try cycling and benefit from active
travel.
This decision utilises existing Department for Transport (DfT)
grant funding.
