The public transport partnership forum, originally established under the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness and continued under Sustaining Progress, provides a mechanism for consultation with the social partners on public transport matters, including public transport investment requirements, priorities and programmes. During the course of 2005 there have been presentations and discussions on a range of public transport investments, including the implementation of land use and transportation strategies in the provincial cities, regional public transport services, the western rail corridor, rail, Luas and metro developments in the greater Dublin area, and public transport integration. The social partners made their views known at the presentations and discussions and these views were taken into account in the preparatory work on Transport 21.
