We have successfully secured £3,460,000 of Transport Scotland Tier 2 Active Travel Infrastructure Funding to support the design and construction of a range of active travel projects across the region.

17/09/2026

Active travel projects across Glasgow will benefit from a package of investment from Transport Scotland that will support major route extensions, accessibility improvements and design work for future projects - helping more people walk, wheel and cycle for everyday journeys. This includes supporting construction of the latest phases of Connecting Battlefield, Connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove and the East City Way, with work due to begin on a project-by-project basis from November.

🚲 NEWS: More bikes than cars on Leith Walk in morning rush hour; record cycle counts and record cycling modal share on multiple routes in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The latest data from Cycling Scotland traffic surveys and cycle counter analysis, shows the continuing success of high-quality cycle lanes in Scotland.

Among the findings from Cycling Scotland's latest all-mode traffic surveys organised on 13th and 14th May:

➡️ More bikes than cars recorded at rush hour on Edinburgh’s Leith Walk for first time
➡️ Edinburgh’s York Place records its highest cycling modal share yet (4.7% of all journeys were by bike, up from only 2.1% in May 2021)
➡️ Glasgow’s Victoria Road sees continuing growth in cycling, with 38% more daily bike journeys than the year before
➡️ Three Glasgow streets with new dedicated cycle lanes recorded their highest ever cycling modal shares – Clyde Street (13.6%), Garscube Road (6.2%) and Victoria Road (16.6%)
➡️ Cycling more than doubled on Glasgow’s East City Way following route improvements, rising to 700 bike journeys per day in May 2026, up from 300 per day in May 2024
➡️ Strong peaks in morning and evening rush hours show that improved cycle routes are helping more people travel by bike for everyday journeys, like getting to and from work

🚲🩺 Kirsty, an NHS health visitor who uses her bike to get to work and appointments in Glasgow, said: "I've found that cycling is much quicker than driving. I feel so much safer on the cycle lane where I know that that area is for people on bikes, and there are no cars."
