<p>The Department will continue to make active travel funding available to local transport
authorities, including those with isolated and island communities, as part of its
unprecedented £2 billion of investment in cycling and walking over the rest of this
Parliament. In 2018, the Department provided technical support to the Isle of Wight
Council to plan cycling and walking networks on the island, enabling it to adopt its
first Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan covering Newport and Ryde in April
2020. In 2020, £297,600 of Active Travel funding was allocated to the Isle of Wight
in two tranches. An announcement on allocations for the latest round of active travel
capital funding will be made shortly.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
