Forecasting Dublin’s Future with GeoDirectory Address Data

GeoDirectory’s comprehensive dataset underpins the NTA’s methodology for population growth forecasting—delivering precision and reliability for strategic planning

About National Transport Authority 

The National Transport Authority (NTA) oversees public transport licensing and strategic transport planning across Greater Dublin and the Republic of Ireland. As the government agency responsible for transport forecasting and infrastructure, the NTA plays a central role in planning future transit needs.


“The GeoDirectory dataset is a key component in the National Transport Authority methodology for population growth forecasting.”  


The Challenge

The NTA needed accurate, comprehensive geospatial data to feed its population-growth forecasting model—essential for planning transit capacity, aligning routes, and preparing for demographic changes. Gaps or inaccuracies in address-level data could undermine forecast quality and decision-making. 

The Results

  • The NTA’s forecasting methodology became significantly more robust and reliable, benefiting from a dataset of over 2 million addresses across Ireland.

  • Forecasting accuracy improved, enabling informed decision-making for future transport infrastructure and services.
