Comment & Analysis: While road deaths and injury collisions involving motorists have spiked this year, there has been a classic moral panic against e-scooters -- and the winner is not road safety but the Government, which has been allowed to pretend that it is acting on road safety. I'm in a better position to say this than most, as I'm not exactly a fan of e-scooters.

The Department of Transport has defended freezing active travel funding at its 2020 level, effectively amounting to a 29% cut over the last six years. Yesterday, campaigners and an opposition spokesperson criticised the unwillingness of the Government to keep active travel in line with inflation.

Pumping taxpayers' money into diesel-guzzling trucks is fair to nobody when we should be subsidising companies to transition to electric vehicles

The Dutch experiment at Oosterwold offers a radically different model of urban living. John Gibbons visited the residents to see how it’s done.

An under-construction active travel project in Cork City is to be changed after large protests from residents -- a group against the project said it was a "huge win", while the council today would not comment on whether people walking and cycling will be mixed on shared paths on sections of the project. The main change is that the number of trees to be cut down is going back to 10.

It’s not the first Dutch-style roundabout in Ireland, but a roundabout on Templeville Road in Dublin is the first Dutch-like design to be retrofitted at an existing busy roundabout. The round…

-- Just 1.1km added to network in 2026 with 6km expected next year. LONG READ: Everybody is frustrated by the slow delivery of Dublin City's active travel network, this month's Mobility and Public Realm Committee was told, but councillors sounded at breaking point, with a number commenting that they'd be dead or long retired from politics before the network is finished.

-- Social Democrats Cllr says he's "mystified" by the delay, adds his party supported the trial.-- "We've now had two full summers" with no action, campaigners say. A senior Dublin City Council official has told the council's mobility committee that plans for a Strand Road cycle path idea "has not gone away". There is no clear publicly available reason for the city council's delay in implementing the trial, but.

Up to 25 cargo bicycles outside a school; must it be the Netherlands? No, it’s becoming the norm at some Dublin schools along newer, higher-quality cycle routes. Parents use cargo bikes to ca…

Commuter groups, opposition parties, and others are encouraging people to join a protest against public transport fare hikes this evening in Dublin outside Leinster House at 6pm.
