In 2005, An Taisce began a pilot project of a Safer Routes to School scheme, under their Green Flag programme. The Dublin Transport Office is funding the project from the Traffic Management Grants Scheme, which is funded by my Department. This is a two-year pilot, covering the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 school years, and involving 30 schools, primary and post-primary, in the GDA.

I am advised that the results of this pilot will be considered in 2007, to help inform a new initiative to assist schools and parents in better managing the transport of children to and from school.
