Sutrans, ArtRoots Scheme: Encourage Walking, Wheeling, and Cycling Along Traffic Free Routes

Closing date

Grants up to £6,000 to help groups and individuals develop projects that enhance route accessibility and encourage walking, wheeling, and cycling. 

Grants are available to constituted community groups, non-constituted organisations, and individual applicants who can demonstrate substantial community involvement. The standard award is £2,500, with higher amounts for projects expected to significantly increase active travel. No match funding is required. 

Previous ArtRoots-supported projects include: 

  • Temporary installations 
  • Performances and events 
  • Sculptures 
  • Heritage signs 
  • Information boards 
  • Murals. 

Applicants must first submit an Expression of Interest form, after which a Sustrans officer provides guidance and support for the full application process. Projects are judged based on potential to foster community engagement and improve public enjoyment of local cycle routes.
