SPT Sustainable Travel Grant Scheme
What is it?
SPT has created a Sustainable Travel Grant Scheme to help organisations fund measures which will develop a more sustainable and integrated transport system across the region.
Applications may be made on behalf of local authorities, health boards, further education establishments, not-for-profit organisations such as charities, and private sector companies.
Grants will normally be up to a maximum of 50% of the capital and revenue cost of facilities. The minimum grant available is £500 and the maximum is £5,000. The applicant will be responsible for securing the remaining 50% matching funding which should include an "in-house" contribution and may not come wholly from another grant scheme.
Applicants will be required to demonstrate the potential benefit of the investment by indicating the percentage of staff who would benefit and stating the anticipated daily reduction in single occupancy vehicles.
Additional credits will be given to applications where:
- a detailed travel survey has been carried out;
- a Travel Plan has already been agreed for the organisation; or
- complementary control measures are in place.
