If you have an idea for a rural transport project, funding might be available with the help of the Rural Transport Partnership scheme.  You should consult the RTPO before submitting any bids to funders, and we would recommend you get in touch at an early stage to discuss your ideas.

Each year LIFT Isle of Wight has a small delegated fund of £10,000 that Island organisations can apply for support to deliver transport solutions across the Island.  A final fund for 2006-07 has  been made available by SEEDA to LIFT. Contact the RTPO for full details and an application form.

Various other funding opportunities exist for rural transport projects. If you have a project you are interested in applying for funding for, the RTPO can provide guidance, so feel free to contact us for advice.
