Get Travelwise!

Last updated: 24/10/2006 - 09:28

'A journey shared, is a journey halved', for public servants participating in a special commuting scheme!

The Roads Service Travelwise NI Car Share scheme - launched to the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) in June 2005 - is going from strength to strength.

Attracting members from all Government Departments, more than 900 staff have now registered - including 34 car share pools.

Based on this group’s performance, the total savings include: -

  • 1,253,284 miles;


  • 238 tonnes of CO2;


  • £125,328;


  • 79,375 trees.


  • The Travelwise NI Team is keen to encourage an ever wider take-up of the initiative, with several major hospitals and District Councils, interested in a car share scheme for their own staff, making contact with the Travelwise NI Team.

    A discussion with these organisations is underway, with the NICS scheme proving to be a valuable role model.
