SWELTRAC - Uniting London's Transport

Strategic Objectives

These were SWELTRAC's Strategic Objective until it ceased to operate on 31st March 2011:

To promote walking, cycling and the use of public transport, including bus, rail and tram to address traffic congestion across south and west London
To provide for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods
To improve public transport interchange facilities to allow easy transfer from one mode to another
To promote economic growth and urban regeneration by implementing local, London-wide and national policies aimed at achieving sustainable travel and development
To recognise best practice and promote innovation in respect of both physical improvements to transport infrastructure and changes to travel behaviour through the use of travel plans and improved information and guidance; and
To support the development of innovative technologies and solutions aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from motor vehicles

How we worked

The work of the partnership was overseen by the SWELTRAC Forum, which met once a year, and two Working Groups (Rail Access and Sustainable Transport & Strategy) which met every two months.

Award-Winning SWELTRAC

SWELTRAC's efforts in workplace travel planning were recognised in 2008 by winning TfL's Smarter Travel Award for the 'Best Sub Region'. For the 2010 awards (there were none in 2009), SWELTRAC was shortlisted in the 'Team of the Year' category. Sadly, we did not win on this occasion (it was a peer-vote category), but we were very proud to have short-listed against some strong competition.
