The Voice of Professional Ground Transportation on Long Island.
LILA represents and advances the interests of professional chauffeured transportation companies across Long Island through advocacy, education, industry collaboration, and leadership.
Who we are
A trade association, not a booking service.
LILA is a membership organization of licensed chauffeured transportation companies, the affiliates they work with, and the suppliers that keep their fleets running. The association does not dispatch vehicles or take reservations.
What it does is narrower and harder: represent the industry where rules are written, keep members ahead of regulatory change, hold a professional standard that buyers can verify, and give owners a room where they can compare notes with people running the same business.

Membership
What members get that non-members don't
Representation, intelligence, a verified credential and a network that actually trades work.
01
Representation where rules are written
A single operator rarely gets a meeting. An association with documented member data does. LILA carries the industry's position into agency and legislative conversations.
02
Regulatory intelligence, in writing
Members receive short written briefs whenever a rule, fee schedule or procedure affecting chauffeured transportation changes — before it shows up as an enforcement surprise.
03
A verified directory listing
Corporate travel buyers, planners and the public search the LILA directory for operators who meet the association's documentation baseline.
