HITRANS - Funding for Active Travel Infrastructure Projects in the Community and Workplace
Details
These capital grants, funded by Transport Scotland’s People and Place Programme, aim to make walking, wheeling and cycling easier and more accessible by improving infrastructure in both community spaces and workplaces. The HITRANS region includes Highland, Moray, Orkney, the Western Isles, and most of Argyll and Bute.
There are two funding opportunities available:
Workplace Active Travel Infrastructure Grant Open to businesses, charities, public sector bodies, and not-for-profits, the grant can be used to install secure or conventional bike shelters, bike repair stations, improved changing/showering areas, and drying facilities for outdoor clothing. This scheme which helps support active travel become part of everyday working life is a great opportunity to create healthier, more sustainable working environments.
Community Cycle Parking Grant The Community Cycle Parking Grant supports improvements in places like transport hubs (e.g. bus stations, ferry terminals etc), schools, residential areas, and community venues. Local authorities and community organisations can apply for items such as cycle parking hoops, sheltered cycle parking or public bike repair stands. Applications are welcome from both the public sector and the community sector.
All funding must be spent, and project close documentation submitted, by 15th March 2026.
