Public Transport

Meath County Council is working to improve public transport in Meath and an example below is Harlockstown Bus Stop and Footpath Scheme

Harlockstown Bus Stop and Footpath Scheme

The Harlockstown Bus Stop and Footpath Scheme aimed to make it safer for people in the area to walk to the local bus stop and shop.

Before the scheme, there were no safe walking paths, so most people drove instead.

Now, the scheme connects Harlockstown to the Ashbourne footpath network, so people can walk instead of driving. This is good for the environment because it reduces emissions.

Navan Town Service Bus Stops Scheme

Meath County Council and the National Transport Authority improved the existing bus services in Navan Town, which was previously served by Bus Éireann on three bus routes.

The works for the “Navan Town Scheme –Navan Town Bus Stops” introduced two bus routes, Route N1, which includes twenty bus stops and Bus Route N2, which includes nineteen bus stops. The new bus routes, operated by Bus Éireann, are served by new low floor buses provided by the National Transport Authority.

The new bus stops include better signage and information and form a network of stops to facilitate convenient travel across the town. These bus services will connect with the Kennedy Road bus interchange facility, to be constructed as part of the Navan Town Scheme (Navan 2030), providing bus services for onward travel to destinations such as Trim, Kells, Drogheda, Dublin, Cavan and Dublin Airport, and also will help make Navan a more attractive and accessible place to visit and stay.

This new public transport network provides new opportunities for travelling around Navan, and enables easier, more reliable and flexible travel. These new bus services facilitate new ways to get to work, schools, healthcare facilities and leisure facilities. It also supports the transport network’s capacity to cater for the planned expansion and development as the population of Navan expands in the future.

Accessible Bus Stop Programme

Meath County Council, along with the National Transport Authority, is advancing works to construct wheelchair accessible bus stops with the capability of serving high-floored coaches, at several existing bus stop locations throughout County Meath. A review of accessibility requests in County Meath has been undertaken and has identified a number of bus stop locations suitable for modification.

The works involved construction of wheelchair accessible bus stops at 7 No. locations in Co. Meath 3No. of which include new bus shelters.

Several locations have been identified as suitable for the installation of bus shelters within County Meath.
