€600,000 for South Tipp Smarter Travel Projects
Posted on November 27, 2011 by Alan Kelly
I’m thrilled to note that since my time in office over €600,000 has been allocated to projects in South Tipperary as part of the Smarter Travel Initiative. This funding provides a small boost for the local economy and encourages cycling and walking and more sustainable transport.
Tipperary is one of the counties that has benefited greatly from the jobs initiative.
The funding forms part of a €2 million national package for smarter travel measures.
