Other Cycling Interventions

Safe Routes to School

4.41 To support behavioural change, Cork City Council will implement a range of other innovations and interventions designed to enhance the cyclist’s experience and safety. This will include interventions that encourage people with disabilities to cycle, improved safety measures, and smart mobility. In addition, the City Council will continue to develop safety awareness campaigns for both motorists and cyclists.

4.42 The Safe Routes to School programme aims to create safer walking and cycling routes within communities, alleviate congestion at the school gates and increase the number of students who walk or cycle to school by providing walking and cycling facilities. The improvements to the school commute could range from an upgraded footpath or new cycle lane to a complete reworking of a school’s entrance. It is funded by the Department of Transport through the National Transport Authority (NTA) and is supported by the Department of Education.
