I propose to take Questions Nos. 175 and 178 together.

As the Deputy may be aware I have secured significantly improved funding over the period 2018-2021 which will benefit both cycling and walking through funding provided under my Department's Smarter Travel/Sustainable Urban Transport programme and the Cycling / Walking programme.

In 2018 there was approximately €19.4million provided under the Smarter Travel / Sustainable Urban Transport programme.

The breakdown of that expenditure was -

- €2.6million on Smarter Travel measures and €16.8million on Sustainable Urban Transport.

The Smarter Travel programme comprises a number of smaller sub-programmes funded by my Department and the breakdown is provided in the table below -

Details of individual projects funded under the Sustainable Urban Transport programme are managed by the National Transport Authority. I have therefore referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply in relation to that programme. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
