Active Travel England – Active Travel Innovation Fund

The Fund aims to:

• Support applicants whose work aligns with ATE’s mission of enabling people to be more active, by increasing access to opportunities for safer walking, wheeling, and cycling.
• Support applicants who are working to identify and address a need, gap, or opportunity in the sector, via an innovative solution or service (intervention), in partnership with local stakeholders.
• Provide a platform for applicants to grow their impact by developing, delivering, and/or scaling innovative active travel interventions, which aim to achieve ATE’s mission.
• Support applicants whose proposed interventions prioritise underrepresented groups in active travel, including (but not limited to) women and girls, ethnic minority groups, children, those less physically active, and disabled people.
• Support applicants whose work aligns with wider Government objectives, such as those of the Health and Growth Missions; specifically reducing pressure on the NHS, creating safer streets, kickstarting economic growth, and supporting net zero.

Note – Innovative interventions are defined in this context as ‘new or significantly improved ideas, processes, products, or services that deliver value’.
