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.
