The West London Partnership (WLP) is committed to encouraging more sustainable means of travel for the sub-region's residents, employees and visitors. The WLP travel plan co-ordinator works with businesses and local authorities in the west London area to identify and implement methods of travel that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. A range of initiatives and awareness campaigns are also being developed to inform the public about the range of travel methods open to them.

In November 2003 WLP teamed up with lift share, the UK's largest implementer of car sharing schemes, to establish this website. The site's aim is to promote all forms of transport and to integrate transport modes from both the public and private sector.

West London's car sharing scheme is part of LONDONliftshare and liftshare.com the National car-sharing scheme. It is available freely to anyone over the age of 16. It enables the creation of a database of people on a National scale who are either travelling around with empty seats or those who do not have access to, or cannot afford the luxury of a car. In effect, the site acts as a matching service for lift offerer's and lift takers, or people who would simply like to share their journey.

Using this portal, any organisation can also set up its own private scheme for a small annual charge. Creating a community of car sharers that in effect share the same West London and National database of users.

On behalf of WLP and lift share, we hope you find this website useful in finding a better way of getting about!

Happy Travelling!
