<p>The Department estimates that on average around £3 to £4 per capita has been allocated
from the public purse to cycling and walking in Central Bedfordshire in each of the
last three financial years. This estimate is based on both ring-fenced funding streams
(including grants from the Sustainable Transport Transition Fund, Access Fund, and
Small Business Research Initiative, as well as Bikeability training in schools in
Central Bedfordshire), and non-ringfenced funding streams (including the Integrated
Transport Block and Maintenance Block) of which a certain percentage is spent on measures
which benefit cyclists and pedestrians. Local authorities are also able to use other
local funds for cycling and walking projects, making it difficult to give a more precise
estimate.</p>
