Galway has been at the forefront of using intelligent transport solutions (ITS) to manage transport systems and infrastructure. The Galway Transport Strategy recognises this and sets an ambition that all future transport interventions will be based on the implementation of Smarter Mobility policies
and consideration of ITS as a means of improving the overall transport experience in Galway. Complementary smarter mobility initiatives in the strategy include:
• Maintaining, expanding, and integrating Galway City Council’s Urban Traffic Management Centre (UTMC)
• Enhancement of integrated ticketing service offered by the Leap Card and provide a universal method of payment across all modes
• Creating and operating a smart parking system for Galway City
• Creating a smart street lighting system for Galway
• Encouraging and providing for electric vehicle usage over time
