Cavan County Council is encouraging employers in County Cavan to join it in applying for the Transport for Ireland 'Smarter Travel Mark'.
The Smarter Travel Mark is a three-tier certification that recognises and celebrates organisations that support active and sustainable travel on the commute and beyond for their workforce, students and visitors, resulting in a reduction in single-person car usage.
Application for the Smarter Travel Mark is open to workplaces and campuses of any size from the private or public sectors. As part of Cavan County Council's efforts to promote Smarter Travel amongst its own workforce, staff participated in the 'Walktober' challenge, clocking up a hugely impressive 38 million steps across October.
To mark the end of the Walktober campaign, and to highlight the benefits of Smarter Travel initiatives, council staff took part in a Walktober lunchtime walk joined by Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council, Cllr TP O'Reilly. Patricia Smith, Administrative Officer with Cavan County Council's Active Travel Unit, said the initiative had been a great success, adding the staff here in Cavan County Council have really embraced
Smarter travel projects.
