The second Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS2) estimates that over £3 billion of investment will be invested in active travel between 2021/22 to 2024/5. This includes estimates for City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) (£700m), Levelling Up Fund (£576m), Future High Streets Fund (£289m), Towns Fund (£293m) and National Highways Designated Funds (£90m). An update on estimates across all funds included within CWIS2 will be published in the next CWIS Report to Parliament.
