#ScotBudget #ActiveTravel 🚶👩‍🦼🚲 falls below 4% of total transport --> www.spokes.org.uk/2026/01/scot... @edi.bike @transform.scot @edinburghbug.bsky.social @keithirving.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @alastairdalton.bsky.social @sw20.info @markruskell.bsky.social @magnatom.bsky.social
Start of Spokes budget article...

ScotGov draft budget 26/27: Active Travel obfuscation

The ‘Level 4 spreadsheet’ accompanying the Scottish Government’s draft budget shows Support for Active and Sustainable Travel rising by an incredible 66.3%, from £135.8m in 25/26 to £226m in 26/27. This has been widely commended.

However, when the smoke and mirrors are removed, it seems likely that total funding for active travel will actually fall slightly in cash terms, and, as a % of total transport, from 4.3% in 25/26 to less than 4% in 26/27.

How can such an apparantly good news story be so misleading? We discuss this in detail later below, but, in summary…

    the big combined rise in Active and Sustainable looks likely to be for Sustainable (specifically, bus infrastructure) whilst Active looks likely to fall
    the quoted £135.8m for Active and Sustainable is misleadingly low, which makes the 66% increase to £226m look misleadingly high.

Cities like Paris and London are becoming cycling cities, where bikes outnumber cars. It's the future - it moves more people, more cheaply, using less energy. It creates better health and better local economies. Cities like Glasgow have to keep up if we want to prosper.

GoBike Strathclyde @gobikeglasgow.bsky.social · 09/12/2023
The incredible finding that 13% of trips on Victoria Road are now by bike proves that huge demand for cycling is supressed only by our dangerous roads. If @GlasgowCC and @AngusCMillar build the full network they've promised, Glasgow will become a city of mass cycling.

This unacceptable; if cost pressures mean the program cannot be delivered in full, then pedestrian and cycle safety measures must be taken promptly using cheaper methods. The status quo, with its attendant road violence and environmental crises, cannot continue. www.reglasgow.com/review-under...
