The National Sustainable Mobility Policy sets out a strategic framework to 2030 for active travel (walking and cycling) and public transport journeys to help Ireland meet its climate obligations. It is accompanied by an action plan to 2025 which contains actions to improve and expand sustainable mobility options across the country by providing safe, green, accessible and efficient alternatives to car journeys. It also includes demand management and behavioural change measures to manage daily travel demand more efficiently and to reduce the journeys taken by private car.
The policy aims to deliver at least 500,000 additional daily active travel and public transport journeys by 2030 and a 10% reduction in the number of kilometres driven by fossil fuelled cars. It will make it easier for people to choose walking, cycling and use public transport daily instead of having to use a petrol or diesel car.
A collaborative approach has been taken by the department in developing the policy through public consultation and extensive stakeholder and cross-government engagement.
The National Sustainable Mobility Policy and Action Plan are available below.
Progress Reports are also published on an annual basis outlining progress in delivering the 91 actions set out in the Action Plan. These are available at the following links:
