As well as those projects being procured as PPP's RPA is also working in partnership with the private sector in bringing other Luas lines forward.
Luas Line B1 to Cherrywood, which is currently under construction, was developed in partnership with private developers who are providing a substantial amount of funding for the project through direct contributions and S.49 levies.
The Planning and Development Act 2000 provides for new developments close to railway infrastructure contributing towards the cost of the railway in the form of a levy.
Luas Line A1 to Citywest is also being brought forward in concert with the private sector, providing railway infrastructure to facilitate future development in the area.
This approach encourages sustainable development by ensuring that new developments are supported by high capacity public transport.
