Background to the 2025 Capital Investment Programme
As part of its remit to support the delivery of an integrated, accessible public transport system, the National Transport Authority
(NTA) operates a Capital Investment Programme across various activities such as Heavy Rail, Bus, Light Rail, Park and Ride,
Accessibility, Transport Technology, and Active Travel.
This includes the provision of funding to public transport bodies, local authorities, and other agencies for the implementation of various projects and programmes within the Greater Dublin Area, the Cities of Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford and other areas of the State. The strategic transport planning and development of effective traffic and transport demand management are also key functions undertaken in respect of the Capital Investment Programme.
