The Department of Transport in Ireland launched a sustainable mobility policy on April 7, 2022, with the goal of transforming the country’s transport system by 2030. This policy emphasizes active travel, such as walking and cycling, and aims to enhance public transport to meet climate obligations. Key objectives include improving infrastructure and services, achieving a 51% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. The policy prioritizes safe, green, and people-centered mobility, focusing on sustainable movement over private car use. Detailed measures to achieve these goals are outlined in the attached policy document for those interested in exploring further.
