Traffic Management in Greater Dublin Area

This provision will fund the implementation of a range of traffic management, bus priority and car restraint measures in the Greater Dublin Area.

These include the construction of Quality Bus Corridors (QBCs), cycle paths, improved pedestrian facilities and traffic management support systems.

The bulk of the expenditure is earmarked for the delivery of QBCs designed to reduce the travel time for passengers, improve bus performance and improve the quality of the public transport experience.
Capital funding for traffic management measures in the Greater Dublin Area is provided through the DTO Traffic Management Grants, in support of its overall transportation strategy ‘A Platform for Change’.

 

A detailed Work Programme of extensions and improvements to the Quality Bus Network for the period 2008-2011 has been agreed and is being implemented. This Programme includes new and improved bus lanes, and also identifies pinchpoints on the Network and appropriate corrective measures.
