Established in 2009, the National Transport Authority (NTA) is the transport operating authority for Greater Dublin and the public transport licensing agency for Ireland. Through their Transport for Ireland (TFI) brand, they oversee the delivery of all public transport services across Ireland.
Since our original tender win in 2016, we’ve partnered with Arcadis to provide the NTA with a wide range of services, from website development and infrastructure to security, patching, and ongoing maintenance.
Ten years of growth and evolution
In this time, we have redeveloped flagship sites nationaltransport.ie and transportforireland.ie, as well as delivered a range of completely new sites to support the NTA’s BusConnects Programme – a key part of the Irish Government’s policy to improve public transport and address climate change in cities across Ireland.
A trusted digital partner for the NTA
With the recent renewal of a further three-year contract, our longstanding partnership with the NTA grows from strength to strength. We continue to play an integral role within the organisation, partnering with stakeholders at every level to support their evolving digital ambitions.
Working with Spider Online has been a very positive experience. The team played a key role in redeveloping several national websites for us, bringing a truly professional and insightful approach to each project. They have deep technical knowledge and expertise and have been a pleasure to collaborate with.
