The Travel Demand Management Study that was published in 2004 by the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO), an agency of my Department, recommended a series of measures to reduce the demand for travel, particularly single occupant car travel in the peak period.
As part of a sustainable travel public awareness campaign planned to launch in June 2007, the DTO intends to fund the piloting of a car-share website for use in a group of larger workplaces, to facilitate car-sharing amongst employees in these organizations. The results of this pilot exercise will be examined and used as the basis for a possible wider roll out of the initiative within the Greater Dublin Area in 2008 and beyond.
