Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Hannah Daly:
I agree with most of the Senator's points. We should definitely look into throwing open access to school buses and making them free. That, alone, is not enough. What about the cost and the time it takes? What if one's child goes to an after-school camp or needs to go early? We would be missing an opportunity to make the public realm more open to active modes if we did not look into providing every school with footpaths, cycling lanes and so forth. Bus transport is one part, but it should be within a whole package.
