Piercetown Mobility Management Plan

MVA was appointed in September 2007 to prepare a Mobility Management Plan for the proposed new development of a business park located near Dunboyne in County Meath. The proposed development consisted of 120,000sqm gross floor area with an expected 3,500 people employed at the site.

A mobility management plan was developed for the site to promote sustainable modes of transport and reduce car based transport. MVA developed a gravity model for the development based on population and travel time to show the likely trip distribution of future employees. The existing and future transportation environment of the site was reviewed to identify opportunities for non car based travel. Based on this mitigating measures were identified which included amongst others the appointment of a mobility management team prior to the development to champion a number of transportation initiatives, the development of a site travel options brochure which would form part of an employee starting pack, identification of new bus stop locations and the provision of a shuttle bus service from the site to a proposed new railway station and the Dunboyne town. Challenging and achievable mode split targets were identified for each mode of transport following the review of the existing and future transport environment and the identification of mobility management measures. These targets will be reviewed regularly once the development is operational as part of an ongoing monitoring process.

River House Mobility Management Plan

Between May and June 2008 MVA prepared a mobility management plan in response to a developer requirement issued from Dublin City Council. The work included a review of potential car queuing at the entrance to the proposed development. In addition to providing a travel plan to open up walk, cycling and public transport options, a car lift was also proposed to deliver cars to the basement of the building. The mobility management plan was to serve the travel requirements of the proposed office block development with a potential over 1,000 employees.
