That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on the School Transportation Scheme proposed by this Council's Strategic Policy Committee on Transportation and adopted by South Dublin County Council. Would the Manager not agree that School Transportation is the best way forward in combating the increased traffic congestion on our roads, particularly at school times, the growing car congestion at schools, often in residential estates, owing to the great number of parents who have to resort to driving children and students to school, and the increased demands and stresses on parents at school times? This Committee now requests the Manager to again ask the Government to provide funding for South Dublin's School Transportation Pilot Project, that itself could be a viable pilot project for School Transportation in the greater Dublin region.
