With traffic and carbon congestion levels continuing to cause issues for organisations, environmental consultancy firm SLR Consulting leads the way in sustainable transport solutions with the introduction of its innovative Leading Initiatives for Future Transport (LIFT) system.
The environmental impact assessment provides an effective sustainable transport strategy. LIFT helps companies meet their commercial and environmental targets, improve efficiencies and provide cost savings. By evaluating each client's individual objectives, SLR assists in the development of an organisation's transport skills, knowledge and expertise so that future smarter travel initiatives can be successfully managed in-house.
Associate Gareth Woodberry who has recently joined SLR in its Highways and Transportation team and who developed the LIFT service said: "For the private sector, we can ensure that objectives including planning consent, environmental accredited status and general traffic management and reduction are realistic and achievable, without the need for excessive external costs.
"For the public sector we can show robust and innovative sustainable transport solutions to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, while increasing job accessibility and journey time reliability."
"A number of organisations throughout the UK are switching on to the benefits of LIFT, which allows companies to provide best practice sustainability through their everyday activities without compromising their on-going business."
