Pathways to Sustainable Transport

About this episode

This episode discusses Meath's sustainable transport initiatives and features insights from local engineers and families enjoying greenways.

Meath could have one of the most sustainable stretches of road in the country! On this episode we find out where it is and why it is part of the council’s response to becoming more sustainable in all areas of transport. Senior Engineer Caroline Corrigan talks about the roads – and there are a lot of them - the impact of climate change, responding to those changes and how to do all of this in a sustainable way. Cormac Ross, Senior Executive Engineer with Active Travel provides insight into their initiatives which aim to promote healthier, more sustainable modes of transportation. We also hear about two families who have been able to embrace the joy of the greenways as Local Lens visited Park Beo, Wilkinstown.
