The National Transport Authority (NTA) Statement of Strategy 2026–2030 sets out its ambitions for the next five years and reaffirms its commitment to delivering high‑quality, sustainable transport for communities across Ireland.
The previous strategy period saw major progress, including new phases of the BusConnects Dublin Network Redesign and improvements on the BusConnects Core Bus Corridor.
Nationwide investment in active travel has accelerated at scale, providing new walking and cycling routes, improved connections to schools, enhanced greenways and safer infrastructure for people of all ages and abilities.
Significant steps have also been taken on the DART Plus Programme to support future electrified rail services for communities in Kildare, Meath, Louth and North Dublin.
The new strategy sets out the NTA’s mission to connect Ireland’s people and places, by providing accessible, high quality, sustainable transport infrastructure and services, contributing to vibrant, climate resilient communities, a healthy environment, balanced regional development and a strong economy. The strategy reflects the organisation’s committment to deliver effective and inclusive transport infrastructure and services, to contribute credibly to the National Sustainable Mobility Policy, and to foster a workplace where staff can grow, develop and feel valued.
These five years will focus on improving customer experience, advancing climate and environmental commitments, expanding public transport capacity, strengthening regulation and safety and ensuring continued delivery of strategic transport infrastructure. The NTA will also deepen engagement with communities and stakeholders while developing a high performing organisation supported by evidence-based decision making.
