<p>On the 9th May the Government announced a £2bn package of funding for cycling and
walking over this Parliament. This included a £225 million Emergency Active Travel
Fund (EATF) which is enabling local authorities across England to put in new cycling
and walking infrastructure. This will reduce pressure on public transport services
by making cycling and walking a viable alternative to public transport or private
car use, particularly for shorter journeys. £42 million of the fund has already been
allocated, and an announcement will be made shortly on allocating the remainder.</p>
