Stagecoach West Scotland has announced a new partnership with Ayrshire College, helping staff access more affordable and sustainable transport options through the company’s Corporate Travel Scheme.

The agreement gives college employees a 10% discount on all app-based ticket purchases for Stagecoach services across Ayrshire, providing a simple and cost-effective way to commute between home and the College’s Ayr, Kilmarnock, and Kilwinning campuses.

The partnership supports Ayrshire College’s sustainability and wellbeing goals by encouraging greener travel choices, reducing car dependency, and easing pressure on campus parking.

Fiona Doherty, Managing Director for Stagecoach West Scotland, said:

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Ayrshire College on this initiative, which not only helps staff save money but also supports our shared commitment to sustainability.

Encouraging greener, more accessible travel is key to how we operate — connecting people and communities while reducing congestion and carbon emissions across Ayrshire.”

Martin Hammond, Head of Health, Safety & Wellbeing at Ayrshire College, said:

“We’re delighted to partner with Stagecoach to offer discounted bus travel for Ayrshire College staff, making commuting easier, more affordable, and more sustainable.

This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to staff wellbeing and environmental responsibility, helping colleagues reduce their carbon footprint while saving on travel costs.”

The partnership is part of Stagecoach’s wider effort to support local employers across Scotland in promoting sustainable commuting through flexible, digital ticketing solutions that deliver value for both staff and the environment.
