The National Transport Authority (NTA) is a statutory body established by the Minister for Transport on 1.12.2009. At a national level, the NTA has responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger land transport services.
The NTA also has responsibility for the development of an integrated transport system within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). The principal functions of the NTA with respect to the GDA are:
โ€” strategic planning of transport,
โ€” development of an integrated, accessible public transport network,
โ€” promoting cycling and walking,
โ€” provision of public transport infrastructure generally including light rail, metro and heavy rail,
