In 1985, the Government published the report "Policy and Planning Framework for roads", which provided a clear statement of the government's road development policy. Arising from this, the Department requested An Foras Forbartha to: examine the assumptions underlying the car ownership forecasts in RT 262, "Car ownership forecasts 1995- 2005", in the light of developments since these assumptions were made. The findings of the review with respect to car ownership forecasts are presented in this report.
