Jacobs Wins Contract for Dublin BusConnects Project

Jacobs has been awarded a contract by Ireland's National Transport Authority (NTA) to provide Client Partner delivery services for the BusConnects Dublin initiative, a 10-year project focused on upgrading walking, cycling, and bus infrastructure across Dublin. This program includes the development of approximately 230 kilometers of bus priority corridors and 200 kilometers of cycle paths, aiming to enhance public transport safety, reduce journey times, and promote sustainable mobility. Jacobs will collaborate with Arup and subconsultants SYSTRA and Chandler KBS to support the sustainable delivery of this initiative. According to Jacobs Executive Vice President Kate Kenny, the project will not only improve connectivity for commuters but also serve as a model for future BusConnects programs in other Irish cities such as Cork and Galway. The initiative aligns with the Irish government's strategic objectives for a climate-resilient economy and compact growth. The NTA has expressed enthusiasm about advancing this critical infrastructure project.
