The pilot project was supported by grants from several organisations, including the AONB's SDF and AAF Funds, and Big Lottery Awards for All. This funding helped to pay for signs, an awareness campaign, and specialist electronic monitoring equipment to collect data.

The pilot project was completed in June 2014, when the funding period came to an end. It is recognised that changing people’s behaviours is a slow process and this is but a first step.

The first Quiet Lanes to have adopted the designation are in villages with close links to the AONB - see map below.
