Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has allocated more than £450,000 of funding to community groups as part of the Transport Scotland-funded SPT People & Place Programme Community Fund. This funding is intended to support 24 community groups in our region working to influence sustainable travel behaviour change through localised project
The People & Place Programme Community Fund supports organisations delivering small-scale projects (£5,000 – £50,000) at a community level which aligns with five key themes: Schools and Young People, Workplaces, Accessibility and Inclusion, Capacity and Capability and Supporting Sustainable Transport.
Projects being delivered under each of themes will be working to encourage behaviour change from traditional car use to more sustainable modes of transport, and initiatives vary from small infrastructure changes such as cycle storage installations, to cycle lessons and led bike rides, management of bike loan schemes, as well as skills building opportunities, increasing capacity and capability across the sector and region.
Organisations funded include Clyde Cycle Park, Living Lab CIC, Getting Better Together, Parents for the Future Scotland and Cycling Without Age.
