Active Travel Infrastructure Fund: Tier 2

The ATIF Tier 2 is designed to support the design and construction of ambitious active travel projects across Scotland. Tier 2 is open to Local Authorities, Regional Transport Partnerships and National Park Authorities, who can submit funding request applications for single year projects. Applications are assessed against several key criteria including modal shift, integration, safety and security, access to schools and other key destinations, deprivation, deliverability, community severance and value for money.

To note: 2023-24 in the table below relates to the Active Travel Transformation Fund, which was a precursor to the Active Travel Infrastructure Fund. You can read more about this in the 2023-24 report.

Case Study: A807 Active Travel Corridor project

ATIF Tier 2 funded £656,000 for the A807 Active Travel Corridor project in East Dunbartonshire Council to provide an active travel connection between the Torrance roundabout and Milngavie Railway Station. Works included widening the existing footway to form a shared use footway along the A807, upgrading kerbing, and enhancing junctions, notably at Dowan Road with the installation of street lighting, improving safety and connectivity in the area. Pictures below show before and after the project alongside the A807.
