The programme is coordinated by the SRTS Team at An Taisce, in partnership with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and local authorities. The programme is an initiative of the Department of Transport, is supported by the Department of Education and forms part of the National Development Plan (2021-2030). In 2022 the programme was identified as a Pathfinder Programme of projects (2022-2025) under the National Sustainable Mobility Policy. The SRTS programme emerged from the legacy of efforts undertaken by Green-Schools in Ireland over the course of more than a decade, specifically focusing on the Travel theme.
