University College Dublin has been awarded a gold level Smarter Travel Mark from the National Transport Authority (NTA) for its efforts to support active and sustainable travel to and from its campuses.
The Smarter Travel Mark is a three tier certification that recognises and celebrates organisations that are working to reduce single-person car usage, and gold certification is awarded to those that have put in place “outstanding measures that support sustainable and active commuting”.
UCD’s Vice President for Sustainability Professor Tasman Crowe and Mark D’Alton, Chair of UCD Smarter Travel Group were presented with the plaque by Siobhan Hamilton, Smarter Travel Programme Manager.
“This is great news and achieving the gold Smarter Travel Mark award reflects the hard work and dedication of UCD Estates and others in promoting the benefits of sustainable travel,” said Professor Crowe.
“We look forward to implementing further Smarter Travel initiatives to support staff, students and visitors in making more sustainable transport choices.”
