As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. Funding is administered through the National Transport Authority (NTA) who, in partnership with local authorities, have responsibility for the selection and development of specific projects in each local authority area, including the public bike schemes.

Matters regarding the management or expansion of public bike schemes are therefore to be considered, in the first instance, by relevant local authorities in conjunction with the NTA.

Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
