As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of bus stops and bus shelters.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding for public transport, whereas it is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that has statutory responsibility for promoting the development of an integrated, accessible public transport network.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities regarding accessible bus stops, I have forwarded your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
