Mobility and scrappage fund

This pilot fund was available to eligible low-income households in specific areas of Scotland. 

Eligible households in Scotland were offered a £2,000 cash grant for scrapping an older vehicle, plus up to £1,000 towards the cost of sustainable travel options with the travel better grant. 

This project was funded by Transport Scotland, an agency of the Scottish Government, and administered by us. 

If you live within 20km of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen or Dundee, you may be eligible for the low emission zone support fund. 

This fund has now closed to new applications. To be notified of any future funding opportunities, please submit your details to the notification form linked below.

This fund was made available to help applicants save money on fuel costs and move away from older, more polluting vehicles. We expect people who apply to replace the scrapped vehicle with sustainable travel options.

We expect people who apply and who plan to buy another vehicle to use the grant to replace the scrapped vehicle with one of a newer, more efficient Euro Standard. 

We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. This fund is subject to terms and conditions.
