Motion

Councillor L. O'Toole
Responsibility:
LPNC Meeting Administration

That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to engage with the Department of Education to seek consideration of Lucan as a pilot area for a dedicated school transport service. This request is made in light of capacity constraints on the public transport network in Lucan, ongoing and planned residential and school expansion including within the Clonburris area and the resulting congestion impacts. The motion notes the Department of Education School Transport Scheme Review (January 2024) which supports climate action objectives and improved integration between school and public transport. A dedicated school transport service could reduce pressure on the public bus network, improve reliability for other users and help address congestion and safety issues associated with school travel. The Chief Executive is requested to report back on the outcome of this engagement.
