Ireland’s Ministry for Transport approved the National Transport Authority’s Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2016 – 2035.
The Strategy reflects and complements the public transport funding priorities and projects set out in the current Capital Plan 2016 – 2021 such as completion of Luas Cross-City, the opening of Phoenix Park Tunnel for commuter services this year, the commencement of DART Expansion Programme, and the commencement New Metro North project.
The Strategy will guide decisions on transport throughout the region and will contribute to the economic, social and cultural progress of the Greater Dublin Area (counties Dublin, Meath, Wicklow and Kildare) by providing for the efficient, effective and sustainable movement of people and goods.
Following the publication of the Transport Strategy, the NTA will now prepare a statutory integrated implementation plan to outline the delivery of the Strategy’s objectives over the coming 6 year period.
‘ The Strategy will ensure the integration of transport objectives within all levels of the planning and development system within the Greater Dublin Area,’ Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe said.
