Connects people and places in Dublin with improved public transit
services
Supports climate response and critical
infrastructure in Ireland's
largest city
DALLAS, Jan. 14,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been
selected by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in Ireland to provide Client Partner delivery
services for the BusConnects Dublin, Core Bus Corridors
Infrastructure Works Program. This critical ten-year program
comprises 12 core bus corridors planned to deliver a substantial
upgrade to walking, cycling and bus infrastructure in Dublin and the Greater Dublin Area while addressing climate
change.
"BusConnects Dublin aims to transform public transport and
promote active travel as the viable and attractive choice for
commuters and visitors, enhancing connectivity and community life,
and supporting the economy and environment,"
said Jacobs Executive Vice President Kate Kenny. "Building on our long-term
relationship with the NTA, we bring diverse experience from
critical transportation infrastructure projects in Ireland and globally to support this
program."
Jacobs will lead an integrated, locally driven team with Arup,
and sub consultants SYSTRA and Chandler KBS, providing
multi-disciplinary and major program management capability to
support NTA in overseeing sustainable delivery of approximately 230
kilometers (~142 miles) of continuous bus priority corridors and
approximately 200 kilometers (~124 miles) of cycle paths and
improved pedestrian facilities.
The delivery of the program aims to support safe and sustainable
transport while providing greater certainty on arrival times to
destinations and also reducing public transport journey times. Of
national strategic importance, the program will go on to form NTA's
blueprint for planned future BusConnects programs in Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway and is a critical
component of the Irish government's national strategic objectives
supporting compact growth, sustainable mobility and transition to a
climate neutral and climate resilient society.
"The NTA is excited to have reached this critical step for
BusConnects Dublin, and now the really hard work begins on
delivering this mega project with our Client Partner, Jacobs," said
NTA Head of BusConnects Dublin Infrastructure Aidan Gallagher.
"Jacobs has significant experience in Ireland and will bring a unique perspective to
this city shaping project which will prove invaluable as we look to
get BusConnects right every step of the way."
"BusConnects will deliver a better-connected Dublin with improved public transport, cycling
and pedestrian infrastructure along the 12 spines. This will lead
to greater reliability and improved journey times with better
access to housing, employment and essential services such as
healthcare and education, while also investing in our local
economy."
