Can car-sharing, bike-hiring electric transport hubs offer a workable clean option for getting around? First of four pilot schemes run by @briancaulfield.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social @atu-ie.bsky.social ESB & Enterprise Car Club aims to find out www.independent.ie/irish-news/m...

Delighted to have been in Galway this morning for the launch of the 1st of 4 e-mobility hubs with our ROBUST project funded by @seai-ie.bsky.social @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social Thank you to Minister Canney, Amaya Vega & Orla Flynn for launching this first hub More info: www.tcd.ie/news_events/...

So impressed with this overnight charging option for those with no domestic plugs and being charged at domestic rates ….. well done Galway City Council @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social

🚨We are hiring!🚨 We are looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to join our UCD team led by @niamhmcherry.bsky.social. Closing date: April 3rd at 12noon. All details are here: universityvacancies.com/university-c... @briancaulfield.bsky.social @deanphelan.bsky.social @rachelmcardle.bsky.social

Not just a Dublin thing...

Some of the highlights from the recent @TFIupdates customer satisfaction surveys.... they asked 6,139 people what they thought of public transport in Ireland... what did they say? www.nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/u...

Very much looking forward to talking at this event tomorrow @ejni.bsky.social

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Plant a lot more urban trees.

333 days for this LNG project to get planning permission...... meanwhile Metrolink spends its 900th day in planning with An Bord Pleanála www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

MetroLink will only hit €23 billion if “everything goes wrong” and “bread costs you €10” irishcycle.com/2025/03/17/m...

In today's Sunday @independent.ie I test-drive one of Ireland's most affordable new electric cars—the Hyundai Inster #Inster #HyundaiInster #ElectricCars www.independent.ie/life/motorin...

Very much looking forward to working with Francesco Pilla, @ajamesgreen.bsky.social and @clarekelly.bsky.social on this exciting new SEAI funded project.... www.seai.ie/seai-researc...

I will be on @drivetime.bsky.social just after 4:30 discussing this... www.irishtimes.com/transport/20...

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

To see the contempt with which scientists in the US are being treated by the new administration is so fucking galling. These are people who've often foregone much more lucrative opportunities to devote themselves to advancing knowledge - for everyone.

The March progress report from BusConnects in Dublin shows some fairly amazing results.... the 48% increase in passenger boardings on the redesigned bus network is remarkable... wait till we start to see the infrastructure too www.nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/u...

📢I am looking for someone to join the team to work on an exciting multidisciplinary team project to examine transport planning in small towns in Ireland universityvacancies.com/trinity-coll...

New Dart West extension to Maynooth faces judicial review challenges

Did a car write this?? Talks about action needed for a healthier and more sustainable society but doesn't mention sustainable mobility at all, no reference to active travel or public transport as far as I can see, and instead asks for support for 700,000 new EVs.

Interesting that the @ccacireland.bsky.social are suggesting we spend approx. €4bn on electric cars.... while these vehicles are part of the solution, cars cause congestion and it is estimated it will cost the state €2bn by 2030....

This is part of our mobility hub on its way to Galway for the launch of the first hub as part of our ROBUST project funded by SEAT in partnership with ATU, ESB and enterprise. The hub will have shared e-bikes, e-cargo bikes & EVs... more info etc soon

📢 Delighted to be hosting this years @itrn_ie Conference in @tcddublin on the 28-29th of May in the School of Engineering @tcdengineering. The call for abstracts is now open..... it will be great to showcase Irish Transport Research itrn.ie/itrn-2025-co...

Very sorry to hear Donald Shoup has passed away. Very much a leading light in transport. His book The High Cost of Free Parking, published 20 years ago was groundbreaking. parkingreform.org/donald-shoup/

2024 saw 174 fatalities on our roads, today sees one of the most significant road safety interventions in decades, the reduction in speed limits on rural local roads. The modelling report shows on pgs 24-28 the impacts in rural Ireland assets.gov.ie/270125/badd5...

Fantastic myth busting article by @gerherbert.bsky.social in the @Independent_ie this morning on the new speed limits www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...
