ADEPT Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads in the UK was a three-year, UK-wide £30 million programme funded by the Department for Transport that aimed to decarbonise the local highway network. Seven projects, grouped by four interconnected themes, were led by local authorities working alongside commercial and academic partners.
The programme ran until March 2026. A further £300,000 funding from the DfT has allowed for a year’s extension, which will enable the Live Labs 2 programme to deliver a comprehensive Year 4 programme of communications and dissemination with a view to scaling and adoption by the sector; ensuring that the insights, evidence and innovations generated by the seven Live Labs 2 projects are shared widely across the sector.
