At SETU, we are firmly committed to promoting sustainable and active commuting options for our students, staff and visitors.

We participate in the numerous initiatives and annual events, including:

Prof Veronica Campbell has signed a new Smarter Travel Charter with Transport for Ireland (TFI). TFI Smarter Travel is a behavior change programme working with third level institutions to implement voluntary campus travel plans that promote and encourage sustainable and active commuting. Through the programme, SETU is working with students and employees to facilitate more sustainable travel choices resulting in better access, enhanced student and employee wellbeing, reduced costs, reduced carbon emissions, and more effective parking management.
Our dedication to fostering greener community choices is unwavering as we strive to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious campus environment.
