Tackling transport and mobility challenges is critical to addressing the climate crisis, given that transport emissions accounted for more than 20% of sectoral emissions in Ireland in 2020. A recent OECD (2022) report noted that current policies which aim to decarbonise the system via private vehicle improvements are ‘unlikely to lead to substantially different patterns of behaviour, rapid emissions reductions, and large well-being improvements'. A key challenge therefore is how to move beyond a focus on private, electric mobility to engage with more radical low-carbon alternatives to accelerate progress towards carbon emission reductions but also to actively enhance and sustain community wellbeing. The key objective here is to empower communities to adopt more sustainable modes of mobility by demonstrating how shared low-carbon transportation can plug the gap when high frequency public transport might not be available. This is a joint project between Prof Niamh Moore-Cherry (UCD), Prof Brian Caulfield (TCD, Civil Engineering) and Kieran Harrahill (TASC), funded by Science Foundation Ireland. The team will also include another postdoctoral researcher based at TCD
