The pathfinder programme, consisting of 35 sustainable mobility projects, will be delivered around the country over the next three years. The programme, which was launched in October 2022, aims to bring increased momentum to the delivery of projects at a local level, providing templates that can be replicated elsewhere with a strong emphasis on experimental and innovative approaches.
The 35 projects selected to form part of the programme encompass the following: significant road space reallocation projects favouring active travel, particularly within the five cities, but also within several towns across the country; large-scale investments in public transport, including in Waterford and Limerick; exemplar 15-minute towns, such as Letterkenny and Killarney; cycling networks and corridors across several counties, including Longford, Wexford and Sligo; innovative pilot projects such as two in Leitrim which will trial creative shared mobility solutions in rural areas; engagement in research projects, including capacity building workshops, which will take place across the country; and a particular focus on expanding the safe routes to school programme and accelerating access to schools and universities by sustainable means. There has been great progress on many of these and we will see increased roll-out in the coming period.
