	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2024 answer text <p>Active Travel England (ATE) was formally established in August 2022 and therefore has only received funding since this date. In its first full financial year of operation (2023/24) the Department provided ATE with a total of just over £112 million, made up of £54 million of capital and £58 million of revenue funding. The details of this are set out in ATE’s Corporate Plan for 2023-2025, which is available on gov.uk. ATE also works closely with local authorities to help them deliver active travel schemes funded by other wider funding streams, such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements. All funding is subject to monitoring and evaluation, and the outputs and outcomes of funded programmes will be reported in future years.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 07/02/2024 09:32:11 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
