The SMP sets out a clear implementation, monitoring and review structure (detailed on pp. 26-27 of the Policy). To support the effective measurement of Policy outcomes, the Action Plan 2022-2025 included actions to strengthen the quality of data to inform evaluation of the impact of SMP measures, through rolling out the Walking and Cycling Index to all cities and holding the National Household Travel Survey on an annual basis instead of on its previous five-year cycle.

that additional reporting measures may be added over time as more data sources become available. These were subsequently expanded upon in Climate Action Plan 2023 (CAP23) with three more ambitious KPIs added: achieving a 50% increase in daily active travel journeys, a 130% increase in daily public transport journeys, and a 20% reduction in total vehicle kilometres travelled by 2030.

The KPIs set out in the SMP and CAP23 and the extent to which they have been delivered to date are as follows:

The SMP itself identifies some initial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) while noting

KPI	Target (if set)	Delivery to date
Number of zero/low emission vehicles/ carriages in public transport fleet.	By end 2025, ● 50% of GDA PSO buses ● 40% of combined Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway ● 4 town bus services ● 10% of Local Link services electrified ● No specific rail fleet targets set	By end 2025, ● 28% of GDA fleet low or zero-emission. Will rise to 34% once further charging infrastructure is complete as 91 additional buses ready. ● 122 buses (41%) now low/zero emission in regional cities. ● Athlone town bus service electrified. Sligo awaiting charging infrastructure. Dundalk, Navan and Drogheda to follow. ● 5 Local Link buses (approx. 2.5% of the fleet) are electrified. ● 144 Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) rail carriages in operation, 21% of fleet. 185 additional ordered.
Number of train stations with full platof rm accessibility.	● Eight additional stations equipped with footbridge and lifts by end 2025.	● 116 stations have full platof rm accessibility, including four recently including four recently retrofitet d with footbridge and lifts. The remaining 31 stations have step free access to one platof rm only – four of these are currently being equipped with footbridge and lifts. The operators have a protocol to serve the accessible platof rm should a passenger request it in advance.
Overall satisfaction level with public transport.	● None. Measured through annual TFI Customer Satisfaction Survey.	● Bus Éireann – 77% overall / 87% most recent trip ● Dublin Bus – 69% / 91% ● GoAhead Dublin – 82% / 90% ● GoAhead Kildare – 90% / 93% ● Kilkenny Buses – 100% / 97% ● TFI Local Link – 96% / 99% ● Iarnród Éireann – 93% / 94% ● DART – 81% / 94% ● Luas – 89% / 97%
Daily public transport journeys	● 130% increase in daily public transport journeys (on 2018 baseline) by 2030 *CAP23 target	● 23.69% increase in PSO journeys (2024 v 2018) – note that commercial bus services are not included in this figure as 2024 data is not yet available.
Daily active travel journeys	● 50% increase in daily active travel journeys (on 2018 baseline). In practice, this equates to 28% of journeys being carried out through active means by 2030. *CAP23 target	● 20% of daily journeys currently undertaken through active travel (as of 2023)
Reduced vehicle travel	● 20% reduction in vehicle km travelled by 2030 relative to a Business-As- Usual (BAU) scenario modelled by the NTA and published alongside CAP23. *CAP23 target	● 2023 mileage trending at 11.63% reduction in vehicle km travelled relative to 2030 BAU scenario.
