Draft Ballina Local Transport Plan (LTP)
Local Transport Plans:-
The National Transport Authority (NTA) placed an onus on each Local Authority to prepare and develop Local Transport Plans (LTP), the plans when completed are incorporated into the Local Authority's statutory Local Area Plans (LAP).
The LTP will guide future transport investment in the larger towns by developing a transport system that epitomises sustainability, accessibility, and community development while catering for demand.
The plans examine all transport modes and how they interacted both in the town centres and environs, and how developing on current infrastructure and incorporating exisitng link routes and reimaginging current traffic routes can provide seamless connectivity for active travel and public transport modes to promote and encourage active travel which will reduce traffic congestion & pollution within the towns.

A public consultation evening hosted by the Mayo County Council’s Active Travel Section along with CSEA was held in the Ballina Civic Offices on 31st January 2024.
