My Department is aware of the Government's Smarter Travel Policy, launched by the Minister for Transport on 5 February, which recognises the valuable role that workplace travel planning can play in making commuting travel patterns more sustainable. My Department promotes the travel pass scheme, of which approximately one third of the Dublin based staff avail, and will shortly introduce the recently announced bicycle purchase scheme for staff. Other initiatives to promote sustainable commuting will be considered and introduced where feasible.
