As the Deputy is probably aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) maintains a number of regional transport models to support its transport planning remit. The models are strategic multi-modal, network based transport models and include all the main surface modes of travel (including travel by car, bus, rail, Luas, heavy goods vehicles, walking and cycling).
As the issue raised is a matter for the NTA, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to it for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
