Royal Irish Academy awarded a Bronze Smarter Travel Mark

29 September 2023

This award signifies the RIA's commitment to putting measures in place that support sustainable and active commuting, and further Smarter Travel actions.

Representatives of the RIA's Green Team were presented with the award by Siobhán Hamilton, Smarter Travel Programme Manager, National Transport Authority (NTA).

TFI Smarter Travel works with large employers and third level campuses to encourage and promote sustainable and active commuting. TFI Smarter Travel is a behaviour change programme working with large employers to implement voluntary Workplace Travel Plans that promote and encourage sustainable and active commuting.

A growing number of Irish employers are engaging in Smarter Travel, working with their employees to facilitate travel choices in favour of more sustainable transport – resulting in reduced costs, enhanced employee wellbeing, better access, and more effective parking management.
