Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 November 2023
54. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Transport the budget allocation for active travel spending in 2024; and the estimated number of kilometres of new cycling infrastructure that will be delivered in 2024. [51339/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I am responsible for the overall policy and funding of Active Travel infrastructure. The allocation of this funding to the various local authorities falls to the National Transport Authority (NTA) who are responsible for overseeing the delivery of both new projects and upgrading of existing infrastructure.
The Active Travel grant allocations are finalised following the publication of the Revised Estimates Volume (REV) and take into account the expenditure outturn on projects and programmes in the preceding year.
The number of kilometres of new cycling infrastructure due to be delivered in 2024 will therefore be dependant on the REV and will be announced early in the new year.
