To ask the Scottish Government, regarding the 2026-27 Budget, how much of the capital budget is allocated for active travel, and whether it will set out in full the detail of the projects that will be funded.
The Scottish Government has proposed an allocation of £226 million for sustainable and active travel investment in the 2026-27 Budget. Of this total, £213 million is designated for capital expenditure.
Full details of the specific projects to be supported through this investment will be set out once they are confirmed in the new financial year. Over the past two years, the programme has focused heavily on delivery through Local Authorities and Regional Transport Partnerships, and we intend to continue utilising this model to maximise local impact and ensure effective implementation.
