The SCSP Open Fund is available to encourage people to change their everyday travel behaviours.
The Smarter Choices, Smarter Places (SCSP) Open Fund is a grant programme funded by Transport Scotland. The fund aims to encourage people to change their everyday travel behaviours; to drive less and to walk or cycle as part of their everyday short journeys or to use public transport for longer journeys.
A total of £13.5 million has been awarded to 542 projects across Scotland since the Open Fund first launched in 2018. Grants are available to encourage people to use public transport or other sustainable options such as buses and community car clubs for longer journeys; walking and cycling for short journeys, and home-working to replace daily commutes.
The Open Fund is available to support public, third and community sector organisations. The fund aims to help cut Scotland’s carbon emissions and improve our air quality. It will also help reverse the trend towards sedentary lifestyles and will tackle health inequalities.
Grants available are between £5,000 and £100,000 and need to be match funded.
