Cycling and Personal Mobility Devices
Transportation involves getting from a person's house to the relevant station or stop - be it rail, bus or otherwise. There should be a requirement for local authorities to prepare specific town-level transportation plans to enable the integration of cycling and personal mobility devices to the overall bus and rail network. For example, very few bus stops have stands for bikes to be locked to.
The ideal situation for residents of towns would be for a cycling and personal mobility device (e.g. scooter) rental scheme to be rolled out at a low cost of usage, similar to the existing Dublin Bike scheme. To achieve this, local authorities should prepare a personal transportation scheme network design for each town greater than 1500 residents (i.e. an defined as an urban area by the CSO).
