	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2016 answer text <p>Transport is largely a devolved matter in the UK, and the delivery of scheme-level monitoring and evaluation is the responsibility of the transport authority implementing the intervention. In London, transport is the responsibility of the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). The Department has no direct involvement and therefore does not undertake monitoring and evaluation of cycling levels or attitudes in London; this work is the responsibility of Transport for London.</p><p> </p><p>Outside of London, there are a number of work-streams that the Department is involved in which directly or indirectly monitor uptake of and / or attitudes to cycling. These are listed below. Much of this monitoring and evaluation work applies to England only; where the work expands geographically, this is clarified below.</p><p> </p><ul><li>The Department is working with the Eight Cycle Cities on the Cycling Ambition to capture evidence on levels of cycling and attitudes to cycling.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Active Lives Survey (formerly known as the Active People Survey) publishes data on cycling by adults in England. This is available at Local Authority level, and DfT is currently funding a temporary boost in numbers of people completing the survey in Cambridge, Norwich and Oxford.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>On attitudes to cycling, we fund a specific transport module on the British Social Attitudes survey.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>The National Travel Survey (NTS) also captures information on uptake of cycling. From 2013 onwards, the National Travel Survey has covered England only.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>The Department will deliver an analysis of programme-level findings (also known as a ‘meta-analysis’) from the twelve Large Projects from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) 2011 -15. We estimate around a third of LSTF funding is invested in cycling interventions. An interim meta-analysis was published in November 2015 and a final meta-analysis is due Spring 2017.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 01/02/2016 16:49:49 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2016 answer text <p>They are one and the same thing. Under section 101 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999, the Department for Transport provides an annual grant to the Greater London Authority, known as the GLA transport grant, for the purposes of Transport for London. In recent years the grant has had both a capital and a resource element to it, sometimes referred to informally as TfL’s “investment” and “general” grants. In 2015/16 the GLA transport grant amounted to a little over £1.5 billion in total, split between some £925 million of capital funding (TfL’s “investment grant”), and some £659 million of resource funding (TfL’s “general grant”).</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 15/02/2016 15:36:39 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

Through the Local Growth Fund, an investment of at least £476m is planned by local enterprise partnerships for cycling infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>From the Integrated Transport Block funding, local authorities will use £194m to invest in cycling and walking.</p><p> </p><p>Regarding highways maintenance, from 2018/19 the plan is to change the formula used to allocate local highways maintenance capital funding so that it also takes into account footways and cycleways as well as the roads, bridges and street lighting, which it is currently based on. Once implemented, around 9% of the funding for local highways maintenance will be based on footway and cycleway lengths and equates to £196m.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, a record £6bn will be spent on tackling potholes and improving local roads between 2015 and 2021, which will benefit all road users, including cyclists.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 19/04/2016 12:37:15 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
