- Car is dominant mode of transport.........
- Over 90% of people drive because it’s more
convenient.
- 25% of all car trips in Dungarvan (single
family occupancy) are for the sole purpose of dropping off or collecting children.
- 70% believe it’s not too far to cycle to the
childcare service and 25% think it would be quicker.
- 49% consider the cycling route to the service
to be safe. However, 63% do not have access to bicycles or the relevant cycling equipment to cycle to or from the childcare service.
- Weather is a major deterrent ........... 80%
choosing not to cycle or walk when the weather is bad.
- Improved Infrastructure, traffic calming and
the provision of cycling equipment were the most frequently cited factors by parents / guardians that would encourage them to engage in active travel.
- Opportunities

single central meeting point.
- Awareness raising campaign (newsletter,
social media, seminar etc.) for parents to address the health and developmental benefits
