I regard the provision of adequate park and ride facilities at appropriate locations as a vital component in achieving the goal of attracting more people onto public transport. Earlier this year, my Department approved a strategy for rail-based park and ride facilities for the greater Dublin area prepared by the Dublin Transportation Office. We have included a financial provision for park and ride facilities in Transport 21. I have already indicated that I will be providing capital funding for the development of new park and ride facilities across the country, subject to the submission of proposals, with comprehensive capital appraisals, which will be evaluated on their merits. I expect to receive specific proposals in the near future.
