Department for Transport written question – answered at on 8 June 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 22 February 2016 to Question 26794, when he plans to launch the new Access fund.
The Access fund comprises overall funding of £560m for sustainable travel, with £500m capital and £60m revenue funding.
We plan to launch the £60m Access fund revenue competition later this year.
The £500m capital is embedded in the Local Growth Fund. A further round of this competition was opened in March 2016 for which the deadline is the summer.
We encourage all Local Authorities to work in partnership with their Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and to think now about aligning their future Access fund bids with the proposals that LEPs are currently developing for the Local Growth Fund.
