Workplace Travel Grants 2022/23 Applications now being taken

Workplace Travel Grants – 2022/23 Applications

The Council are now accepting applications for the final year that the funding will be available

This year the Council have made available £250,000 to support employers who want to encourage their employees to adopt more sustainable and active modes of transport for their commute to work.

So far in 2022/23 grants totalling £120,000 have been awarded to support the delivery of EV Charge Points, improved shower facilities and increased cycle parking at workplaces.

As part of the Council’s Transforming Cities Fund programme, funded by the Department for Transport, we are offering match-funded grants of up to £25,000, per business with the following applying to the 2022/23 scheme:

  • Businesses can make an unlimited number of applications to the scheme, each year.
  • The Council’s contribution is a maximum of 75% of the non-VAT scheme cost
  • Businesses can, where they occupy several sites in the region covered by the grant scheme, apply for up to £25,000 per site.
  • A provisional award, subject to planning permission being secured, can be made with the funds being ‘reserved’ for a company for a period of up to three months to allow planning permission to be sought.

For businesses that have already received funding the amount of grant they will be able to apply for will be £25,000 less the amount of grant already awarded to them.

Full details of the opportunity are available at www.plymouth.gov.uk/workplacetravelgrants .

Grant applications can be made from Tuesday 1 February until Friday 30 September 2022. All schemes funded must be delivered by mid-March 2023.
