Translink Corporate Challenge Winners
Translink announced Allstate as the winner of the ‘Translink Corporate Challenge’, a four month initiative launched in partnership with the Irish News and supported by Business in the Community which challenged local businesses to become more sustainable by encouraging employees to use public transport.

Allstate, who employ 1,181 staff, conducted monthly surveys to determine commuting habits and perceptions of passenger transport, and from January recorded an increase from 45% to 52% in the number of employees who use bus or rail at least once a week or always.  One in ten employees who responded to the final survey confirmed that they used the bus or train for the first time in 2012.

Employees can also make great savings on public transport throughTranslink’s TaxSmart Scheme.  Taxsmart promotes the use of annual travel cards offering great savings on bus through an HMRI employee sacrifice scheme or an Annual Commuter Card for train travel.
