LIT urge all staff and students to take part in Limerick Smarter Travel programme

One of our biggest annual events, the Step Challenge, takes place in September with teams of walkers all around the country getting active, feeling better and having fun with their colleagues – and of course, winning great prizes!

 Limerick Smarter Travel work with people in schools, campuses, workplaces and communities to help them to change their travel habits, cut their single occupancy car use and increase their active and sustainable travel. Your support is vital to make the programme a success, it’s the small everyday travel choices are the ones that really make a big difference. If you decide to make a change to your travel routine, you won’t be alone, you will be part of a much larger movement towards a healthier and more sustainable community.
