Low Carbon Transport Loan Fund and E-bike Grant fund breakdown by region: EIR release
Information requested
You asked for a breakdown of the Low Carbon Transport Loan Fund; a breakdown of spend of the E-bike Grant fund; and for this information to be broken down by Scottish Parliamentary region and project type for 2018.
Response
As the information you have requested is ‘environmental information’ for the purposes of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRs), we are required to deal with your request under those Regulations. We are applying the exemption at section 39(2) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA), so that we do not also have to deal with your request under FOISA.
This exemption is subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of all the circumstances of this case, we have considered if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption. We have found that, on balance, the public interest lies in favour of upholding the exemption, because there is no public interest in dealing with the same request under two different regimes. This is essentially a technical point and has no material effect on the outcome of your request.

Please note - we do not hold data based on Scottish parliamentary region so have therefore split by local authority instead.

These figures reflect actual funds paid out at the end of the financial year and will not always equate to the total funding made available. Due to long lead-in times for electric vehicles, the remaining funding was paid in subsequent years once the customer was in receipt of the vehicle.
