Transport Scotland have revised the delivery of Behaviour Change and Access to Bike interventions ( People and Place Programme), with more direct funding and control now being held at a local level .
This means that funding is directly provided to Regional Transport Partnerships, who now have responsibility to develop a relationships with Local Authorities and Third Sector organisations to deliver the People and Place Programme.
