Dear Dave,

The Gluas Group is asking politicians and others to back a feasibility study into Very Light Rail for Galway to be funded by the Department of Transport as part of the review of the Galway Transportation Study. The Minister for Transport has kindly agreed to do this in 2022. The Gluas group wish to have an input into the Terms of Reference of that study which must focus solely on Light Rail and must be carried out by independent consultants with experience of Light Rail systems.

We look forward to seeing you at the next webinar and hopefully on a tram in the not too distant future.
