Publication of the Draft Waterford Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy

The National Transport Authority invites written submissions or observations on the Draft Waterford Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (WMATS). The draft WMATS sets out a framework for investment in transport for the Waterford Metropolitan Area up to 2040 and includes proposals for the significant enhancement of bus services and infrastructure, the development of a cycle network, and a range of other measures related to walking, roads and streets, parking and the enhancement of the public realm.

An Environmental Report has been prepared which assesses the likely effects on the environment of implementing the Draft Strategy. An Appropriate Assessment is also being carried out.
