Wales releases details of its latest local authority transport grants

The Welsh Government has released its 2024/25 local authority transport grants which will see investment of more than £100 million in improving public transport in support of economic growth.

The funding is designed to help local councils improve transport with schemes that support active travel and safe routes, road safety, electric vehicle charging facilities, road resilience, local transport and unadopted roads.

Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Ken Skates said, “These grants are a substantial investment to support sustainable local economic growth, enhance public transport facilities and create and improve routes that will enable and encourage more people in Wales to walk, wheel and cycle.

“These projects are prime examples of the practical solutions we have asked local authorities to design in order to make it easier for residents to connect with their places of employment and businesses, and to do so more sustainably.”

The funding in some cases builds on allocations that have been made to different phases of some projects in previous years.
