The Scottish Government has launched a 12-week consultation on the new draft Cycling Framework for Scotland.
The published document sets out the draft strategic priorities for everyday cycling to 2030 – supporting the Active Travel vision where communities are shaped around people and that walking, wheeling and cycling are the most popular choice for shorter everyday journeys.
The new approach builds on the previous Cycling Action Plan for Scotland. The draft framework highlights six key areas where progress needs to be made and explains the actions which need to be taken to achieve them.
This draft strategic approach builds on the new announcements outlined in the Programme for Government. This includes the provision of multi-year funding, providing options to Local Authorities seeking to undertake more ambitious infrastructure projects, and the improved Cycling Storage Fund to accelerate the rollout of safe and secure storage options for communities across Scotland – all supporting the Scottish Government commitment of reducing car kilometres travelled by 20% by 2030.
