Workplace Travel Plans for SMEs
Organisations of all sizes can benefit from employees choosing more active and sustainable travel on the commute, on an occasional or regular basis. If you are working at an SME and would like to find out how you can promote sustainable travel and active commuting, you will find several resources on the Smarter Travel – Resources and Events Page. We also have an Implementers Guide to Workplace Travel Plans for SMEs to assist you.
What can SMEs achieve?
Smaller organisations can achieve similar successes to large employers – being smaller means it is more likely your colleagues meet each other on a regular basis and can be engaged in any on-site events, such as bike maintenance or team-based walking promotions.
You may find that partnering with a neighbouring organisation might present more options in terms of actions and promotions for your workplace.
Some of the benefits associated with more sustainable travel on the commute for SMEs include:
- Reduced costs associated with providing car parking;
- Reduced employers’ PRSI payments (through Cycle to Work and TaxSaver ticket schemes);
- Enhanced employee wellbeing;
- Enhanced sustainability profile;
- Reduced pressure on parking spaces and
- Reduced business mileage costs.
