As part of the Bus Connects bus network transformation programme, I have secured significant funding to construct a number of high quality Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) schemes across the Greater Dublin Area. One of these schemes, the Blanchardstown-UCD BRT, is planned to run along the Navan Road route corridor between Dublin City and Blanchardstown. The proposed scheme is currently at design stage and the scheme will be developed taking the needs of cyclists, pedestrians and all other road users into account.

I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you as they will be able to provide more detailed information on the current status of the Blanchardstown-UCD BRT proposals. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
