In 2024, Ireland will allocate €290 million to enhance its active travel infrastructure, with total funding since 2020 exceeding €1 billion. This allocation targets around 800 active travel projects, adding to the over 600km of infrastructure already established. The investment supports the government's objective to improve walking, cycling, and wheeling facilities nationwide.

A €20 million portion is designated for the Safe Routes to School Programme, aimed at increasing safety and accessibility around schools. This funding is part of a broader effort to encourage sustainable travel habits and achieve national goals for health and environmental sustainability. The initiative's focus is on expanding and securing infrastructure for active travel across Ireland.
