<p>The Government has committed over £2 billion of investment in cycling and walking
during this Parliament to deliver on the commitments made in the ‘Gear Change’ walking
and cycling strategy. This set out the Government’s vision for cycling and walking
to be the natural first choice for many journeys, with the ambition that half of all
short journeys in towns and cities will be walked or cycled by 2030. In line with
this vision, the Department for Transport continues to publicise guidance for businesses,
large and small, on the different ways they can promote cycling and walking, including
the Cycle to Work Scheme.</p><p>It is encouraging that there has been an increased
uptake of the Cycle to Work Scheme, particularly amongst key workers, over the last
few years. Government officials are currently undertaking a programme of research
to better understand the success of the Cycle to Work Scheme, including motivations
for employees joining the Scheme. Any changes to the Scheme will be considered following
this programme.</p>
