Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure how many primary schools in the South Antrim constituency accessed (i) the Active School Travel Programme; and (ii) the Cycling Proficiency Scheme, in the last year.

My Department does not hold participation figures for Active School Travel Programme and Cycling Proficiency Scheme on a constituency level but rather as a whole across Northern Ireland.

The most recent set of participation figures of schools before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic are for the financial year 2019/20 and are detailed below;

FIGURES FOR 2019-2020
Cycling Proficiency Scheme	348
Active School Travel Programme	180
