Brittas Bay To Benefit From Safe Routes to School Programme

Pencil shaped bollards, colourful road markings, improved footpaths and pedestrian crossings will help highlight the presence of Scoil Mhuire Réalt na Mara in Brittas Bayl and encourage traffic to slow down.

The SRTS programme, launched in 2021 provides local authorities with targeted funding to enhance safer front of school environments and improved walking and cycling infrastructure around schools.

By alleviating traffic congestion and fostering safe and sustainable travel habits, the programme aims to make active commuting more accessible for students throughout the country.

With Round 3 launching today, 414 schools have been actively engaged in the programme to date.
