Active travel funding remains at £39m - same as this year. </p> <p>The Cycling, Walking and Safer Streets budget goes up from £5.9m this year to £7.4m next, but it isn't clear whether this increase is included in the £39m total (although I suspect it probably is).</p> <p>The total transport budget has increased from £2.284bn to £2.408bn - an increase of 5.4%. So active travel spending as a proportion of total spending has fallen. I make it around 1.6% of total transport expenditure in 2017/18.</p> <p>More details at: <a href="http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0051/00511808.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0051/00511808.pdf</a> </p>
