Cycling Friendly Employer development fund 


The Cycling Friendly Employer Development Fund, financed by Transport Scotland, provides grants of up to £25,000 per registered workplace for capital projects that encourage staff and visitors to travel by bike. 

 

Common projects include installation of secure and sheltered cycle parking; upgrades to shower, changing and drying facilities; purchase of office pool bikes and creation of bike maintenance areas

The fund is open to businesses and organisations in Scotland who are working towards achieving or maintaining Cycling Friendly Employer status.
 
The Cycle Friendly Employer Award - This nationally recognised award provides a framework, resources and one-to-one support to increase staff cycle rates, and rewards those organisations working hard to encourage workplace cycling. Cycling Friendly assessors from accredited service centres across Scotland will support you through the process.

Working towards Cycling Friendly Employer status will support criteria of the Healthy Working Lives Award and the Walk at Work Award.
 
The Award handbook published on the Cycling Scotland website takes you through the whole process and what you can expect at each stage.
