Hampshire Active Travel Fund Schemes

Last update: December 2024

Programme Overview

Over four tranches, Hampshire County Council have secured £7.3 million from successful bids to the Government’s Active Travel Fund (ATF). The funding is being used to provide a range of measures to create better spaces for walking and cycling in local communities.
This first tranche of funding, awarded in 2020, was provided for temporary pop-up measures in response to the Covid pandemic to help people socially distance more easily as they returned to high streets and town centres and to make it easier to walk and cycle after the first national lockdown and resulted in over 40 such schemes across Hampshire.
Subsequent tranches of funding have been provided for permanent active travel schemes which will support the County Council’s established priorities to:

  • Improve air quality in local communities;
  • Reduce carbon emissions in line with the Climate Change Strategy (37% of Hampshire’s emissions currently come from transport);
  • Support local businesses (as people interact more within their communities);
  • Support the wellbeing of Hampshire residents (by providing more active travel options);
  • Accelerating ambitions for a green and healthy Hampshire;
  • Working with the community.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Findings Reports

The County Council is committed to monitoring and evaluating schemes, to establish the impact of the measures. Following implementation, a majority of schemes will therefore be subject to the collection of transport data and user intercept surveys to inform the monitoring and evaluation process. As well as being a condition of the funding award, this process allows the County Council to determine how successful the schemes have been in supporting its priorities.

The feedback findings reports on the survey results for Tranche 2 can still be viewed.
