Regional Freight Strategy for the GDA
• Preliminary scoping document prepared
• Process of initial Consultation with key stakeholders underway
• OBJECTIVE – based on work carried out for the draft NTA Transport Strategy for the GDA
“Develop a regional freight strategy for the Greater Dublin Area in order to optimise freight movement in the region, balancing the needs of the freight industry with the environmental and traffic management objectives of the region. An important aspect of the freight strategy will also be to facilitate a greater alignment between freight activity and land use planning and strategic traffic management. The freight strategy will also provide a framework for stakeholder involvement and data collection on an on-going basis.”
