Responsibility for the implementation and development of infrastructure projects in the GDA such as those funded by my Department under the Sustainable Transport Grants Programme comes within the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA). This rolling programme of measures facilitates investment in various QBCs, cycling/walking, safety and traffic management projects throughout the seven local authority areas in the region.

The GDA local authorities will shortly be notified of the programme of projects, which will include cycling projects, approved for funding in 2015. The cycling projects will be based on the NTA GDA Cycling Strategy which is available on the following link: .

Where possible a considerable number of the key cycle routes will be developed with cycle lanes segregated from other traffic.
