Overview
Background & policy context:
The study was initiated in 2002 following publication in 2001 of the Dublin Transportation Office's transport strategy for the Greater Dublin Area for the period up to 2016, A Platform for Change. The transport strategy recommended substantial investment in public transport infrastructure and services, but also recommended demand management measures to reduce the growth in demand for travel, particularly by private vehicle in peak travel periods.
Objectives:
The main objectives of the study can be summarised as:
- To reduce the growth in overall travel by motorised modes, in the Greater Dublin Area
- To yield a greater modal share for public transport, cycling and walking over and above that achievable through the transport infrastructure and service enhancement measures described in the DTO (Dublin Transportation Office) transport strategy
- To achieve a good level of service on the road network for essential road users
- To encourage more sustainable trip distributions and modal split throughout the Greater Dublin Area.
Methodology:
- Initial consultation
- Examination of current problem and trends in the Greater Dublin Area
- Research and development of potential measures based on international experience and Greater Dublin Area experience
- Initial assessment of potential measures
- Consultation on identified feasible measures - stakeholder liason, public consultation, market research
- Assessment of the transport impact of feasible measures and packages of measures; and
- Evaluation of preferred package(s) of measures.
