as well as with locally provided specialist healthcare and school transport services. A role was identified here also for integrated transport systems and technologies for passenger information before and during journeys. A related concern is the interface between private car and the public transport network requiring accessible parking provision. Integration of public transport services is a key objective for the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. In line with the inclusive approach reflected in this Plan, integration is being pursued in a way that will not differentiate between people with disabilities and other passengers. The provision of improved interfacing of infrastructure, services, information and payment systems is key to effective integration. The main strategies to deliver improved integration include the phased introduction of integrated ticketing and of real time passenger information systems by the National Transport Authority, better inter-modal links to seaports and airports and utilisation of intelligent transport systems. Some of these integration issues are already being dealt with within the context of Transport such as improved passenger information systems and the introduction of new Access for All technologies. A number of other integration measures are being explored in the context of work related to local and rural integrated transport services (see section 3.). These involve greater levels of co-ordinated transport delivery across a range of exchequer funded local and rural transport services including the RTP, HSE non-acute transport and school transport and voluntary transport initiatives. Provision of transport services for older people and people with disabilities is a key consideration.
