Active Travel

East Midlands Combined County Authority have been awarded over £7.2m for Active Travel schemes in our region for 2025-26.

Walking, wheeling and cycling are reliable and affordable ways to get around and are hugely beneficial for both mental and physical health. As such, making it simple and safe to walk, wheel or cycle to schools, shops and workplaces is one of the most effective actions we can take to improve the region’s health, economy and air quality, all in one.

The recently announced Consolidated Active Travel funding will allow EMCCA, along with our Constituent Authorities, to invest in our regional cycling and walking infrastructure as a key part of our mission for growth, providing better connectivity, boosting local businesses and the wider regional economy.
