A sum of US$24.2 million has been earmarked for improvement of Welsh roads, public transport, and walking and cycling routes.
The funding will boost 41 projects in counties across Wales. This includes cycling and walking links and facilities in Merthyr Tydfil and along the Montgomery canal. Provision for a bus interchange in Newton and improvement of the bus corridor between Port Talbot and Swansea is also foreseen.
Transport minister Edwina Hart said: 'The projects selected will support the Welsh government's priorities for jobs and growth, by improving access to enterprise zones, and improving public transport to employment sites.'
The funding is provided by the Welsh government's local transport fund, which helps to deliver economic benefits and promote cycling and walking under the Active Travel Act 2013.
