The Government also announced a new £1.7 billion Transforming Cities Fund in the Autumn Budget which will allow a number of cities to support projects aimed at improving local connectivity, which could include by boosting cycling and walking. The Department has recently announced a further £4m of funding for the cycle rail programme to improve cycle storage facilities at railway stations, and has commenced a major programme of technical support to help 44 local authorities in England to develop their Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs).</p><p> </p><p>The Department also announced a Cycle Safety Review in September 2017, which will consider ways of making the roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians, and so help encourage confidence in cycling.

answer text <p>OLEV grants are available to bridge the cost gap between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine equivalent road vehicles. We do not plan at this stage to extend grant funding to e-bikes and e-cargo bikes. The Government recognises the significant potential benefits associated with e-bikes, and its plans to boost all forms of cycling are set out in the statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in April 2017. The Department has supported various e-bike initiatives in recent years, and some e-bikes are eligible for support under the Government’s cycle to work scheme.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Financial incentives help to offset the upfront price premium of an electric vehicle and are therefore important to encouraging motorists to make the switch, and have been made available by Government for the past seven years.</p><p> </p><p>We have a support package worth nearly £1.5 billion to encourage early market growth, including a variety of grant funding schemes such as the Plug-in Car Grant, which offers up to £4,500 off the cost of a new electric car. There are also grants to put the necessary charging infrastructure in place and positive incentives for electric vehicles in the UK tax framework.</p><p> </p><p>These incentives support our ambition to end the sale of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040, helping to meet our long term climate and air quality goals as well as positioning the UK as a global leader in electric vehicle technology and use.</p> more like this
