Since 2022, Ireland’s National Transport Authority (NTA) have been developing web-based tools that are capable of undertaking connectivity assessments of settlements throughout Ireland. These tools have the opportunity to greatly enhance land use and transport planning decision making processes, and it is the intention of the NTA to introduce them as a standardised approach to connectivity analysis for use by Local Authorities and Government Bodies. The tools highlight opportunities and constraints for sustainable modes within existing transport networks, while also offering the potential to explore improved options. The application of these tools in the development of Local Transport Plans assists in the improved design of urban spaces by bringing active modes and permeability to the forefront of the planning process. These toolkits are now widely used amongst Local Authorities during development of their Local Transport Plans and have also attracted significant interest from Government Departments as they look to establish better ways to promote sustainable development methodologies.
