Kerry Community Transport is funded by the Department of Transport's Rural Transport Initiative as part of the National Development Plan 2007-2013.
The RTP was initiated as a response to the growing acknowledgement of the economic and social impacts of inadequate transport in rural areas and the increasing level of interest amongst community and local development groups in developing and implementing locally based solutions.
