South Dublin Public Transport Accessibility Review

Client: South Dublin County Council
Duration: September 2016 to February 2017

Project Summary

Transport Insights, with Systra as sub-consultants, was commissioned by South Dublin County Council to undertake a public transport accessibility review of South Dublin County, one of four local authority areas in County Dublin.

Key tasks undertaken for this project included a detailed evidence base review of population and employment distribution within the County, analysis of public transport networks and services provision, public transport walking and transit time analysis, and origin and destination choice analysis.

The identification of key challenges was supported by 400+ online survey questionnaire responses from members of the public, and consultation with the business community within the County.

Added Value Brought to Project

Following identification of key transport accessibility challenges, Transport Insights identified and appraised potential options. The findings of the Accessibility Review informed the National Transport Authority’s subsequent Dublin Network Redesign Project (part of the BusConnects programme).
