Cross Border Rural Transport Pilot Begins In Fermanagh And Donegal

The scheme will operate for one year and will help determine the need for cross border travel at local community level.

The first step of the pilot project will see transport being provided between Tullyhumman in Donegal and Pettigo in Fermanagh by means of a community social car scheme. Other later services may involve routes from Ballyshannon to Enniskillen and Pettigo to Enniskillen, delivered by a co-ordinated taxi service.

Conor Murphy said: "This pilot will provide cross border transport services. Current research along with work being carried out by services on the ground will help determine the level of need for cross border travel at a community level."
