Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Toll Increases and Ongoing Projects: Discussion with Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Peter Walsh:

The Senator also mentioned multipoint tolling on the M50. We have looked at that and various other mechanisms. The NTA is developing a demand management scheme for the greater Dublin area. We are contributing to that. We use our modelling and expertise on safe traffic flows on the M50 to contribute to that in any way we can. The thing about the M50 is that it is very heavily used. The tolling of the road does help manage demand. It is a useful mechanism in that regard. We would not underestimate the value of that.
