It is not possible to provide separate totals for investment in walking schemes and investment in cycling schemes. The figures do not include the funding for active travel that comes from wider funding streams such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS). The Department’s highways maintenance funding for local authorities provides further funding for roads and pavements and so also benefits cyclists and pedestrians.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Dedicated capital funding for active travel (£ million)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Dedicated revenue funding for active travel (£ million)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>209</p></td><td><p>70</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022-23</p></td><td><p>200</p></td><td><p>71</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 30/03/2023 08:25:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

In February 2023, Greater Manchester Combined Authority was allocated resource funding through the LEVI Fund to support EV infrastructure plans across the region.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises that a whole package of measures is needed to support the switch to zero emission driving.</p><p>HM Treasury has ensured that EVs continue to benefit from a favourable tax regime. There are now over a million plug-in vehicles on UK roads, the majority of which are exempt or pay minimal VED. From 2025, electric vehicles will still have preferential first year rates of VED in comparison to the most polluting vehicles. There are also preferential rates of company car tax for EVs out to April 2028. These measures will continue to support the uptake of electric vehicles.</p><p>Ministers across government departments continue to collaborate on the implementation of the Net Zero Strategy. In the Strategy, the Government announced that it will introduce a zero emission vehicle mandate, setting targets for a percentage of manufacturers' new car and van sales to be zero emission each year from 2024. The Government will shortly publish more details on the design of the ZEV mandate, including uptake trajectories, and accompanying CO2 emissions regulation.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/03/2023 10:15:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
