<p>The many ways in which the Government is supporting active travel are summarised
in the statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, which was published in in
April 2017. The Department also undertook a major cycling and walking safety review
in 2018, and published its response and a detailed action plan in November 2018. Around
£2 billion is now being invested in cycling and walking over this Parliament. To encourage
people to cycle to work, the Government’s Cycle to Work Scheme allows employers to
loan cycles and cyclists' safety equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit. The
Department is reviewing and updating its guidance on the scheme and is due to publish
a revised version later in 2019.</p><p> </p>
