Purpose

To request authorisation to submit schemes to
the Consolidated Active Travel Fund.

Decision

The submission of four schemes listed within
the report to Active Travel England’s (ATE) assurance process
is approved as part of the Consolidated Active Travel Fund
submission process.

Reasons for the decision

The submission of the schemes listed in this
report is the next step required by ATE as part of the CATF
approval process. The schemes meet the criteria, can be delivered
within the funding window and within the budget
available.

Alternative options considered

A sifting exercise was undertaken to assess
potential schemes against the fund criteria. All schemes that are
proposed to be taken forward for submission are of low/medium
complexity and can be delivered within the funding window.
Alternative options such as early development of schemes and change
control options were discounted in order to focus on infrastructure
delivery. Improving delivery of active travel schemes is a key
element of NYC’s Capability Rating and is something that
would go toward increasing our capability rating in the future
which would have a positive impact on future active travel
funding.
