Recognized with the Smarter Travel Mark: Silver Distinction for Our Site
Smarter Travel Mark Program Encourages Active and Sustainable Commuting Nationwide
The Smarter Travel Mark, a nationwide program coordinated by the National Transport Authority (NTA), is committed to promoting active and sustainable travel. The program aims to support workforces, students, and visitors by encouraging a reduction in single-occupancy vehicle usage and the adoption of greener travel options [1].
The Smarter Travel Mark program offers a three-tier certification system that recognises and celebrates organisations that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable mobility, particularly in their commuting practices [1]. This includes efforts to reduce dependency on single-occupancy vehicles, promote active travel modes like walking and cycling, and support the development and use of infrastructure such as footpaths, cycleways, and cycle/scooter parking [2].
The program's influence can be seen in the improvements made to Public Service Obligation (PSO) services and the Safe Routes to School programme. The latter has installed cycle and scooter parking at over 800 schools and added 184 km of footpaths and cycleways nationwide [2].
Organisations that earn the Smarter Travel Mark are contributing to broader climate action and sustainable transport goals. By transforming travel behaviour through infrastructure support, active travel promotion, and reducing single-person car trips among communities connected to certified organisations, the program is making a significant impact [1][2].
