Smarter Travel for Campuses 2024/2025

Published: 9 Sep, 2024

Transport for Ireland (TFI) Smarter Travel Behaviour Change Programme is a national voluntary programme which supports third-level educational institutions and workplaces to implement voluntary travel plans. These plans focus on promoting and encouraging students and staff to sustainably and actively commute to campus. 

As programme partners, TU Dublin engages in a series of Smarter Travel activities, and students and staff are encouraged to get involved. The table below gives an overview of all upcoming activity for the 2024/2025 academic year. Find out more about each initiative on our Smarter Travel webpage.
