Road Strategy (CDP 2022-2028)

Integrating land use planning with transportation is key to addressing climate change, supporting economic
prosperity and improving the quality of life for those who live in County Wicklow. Reducing the need to travel,
especially long distances, by private car, and increasing the use of sustainable and healthy travel alternatives, can
bring multiple benefits to our climate, local environment and communities.

The Council will continue to provide for all components of the transportation system which are within its own remit
and will support and facilitate the development of those other elements provided by external agencies, such as the
National Transport Authority (NTA) and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). In addition the strategy and objectives
of this plan are required to be consistent with the transport strategy of the NTA1
, as well as the National Planning
Framework (NPF) and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES).
It is the aim of this plan to craft land use policies to produce settlements of such form and layout that facilitates
and encourages sustainable forms of movement and transport, prioritising active travel modes of walking and
cycling, and for larger settlements, public transport.
