Sport Ireland Campus awarded gold level TFI Smarter Travel Mark
Sport Ireland Campus has been awarded the gold level TFI Smarter Travel Mark, recognising our continued progress in supporting and encouraging more sustainable travel choices across the Campus.
Sport Ireland Campus is one of only 20 organisations nationwide with the TFI Smarter Travel Mark at Gold level.
The upgrade from silver to gold reflects improvements in several key areas, including enhanced on-site facilities and promotion that empower more walking, cycling, public transport and carpooling options for staff, visitors and Campus users.
Pictured above are Dr Úna May, Sport Ireland CEO, receiving the Gold Level award from Tom Lordan, National Transport Authority Smarter Travel Consultant, with Sinead Gordon, Sport Ireland Campus Chief Operating Officer and Stephen Bennett, Campus Operations Manager.
The TFI Smarter Travel Mark is a national recognition scheme designed to acknowledge organisations that demonstrate significant progress in encouraging sustainable travel among their staff and visitors.
