Membership
Join the companies that set the standard.
Membership is a working relationship, not a listing fee. Members shape the association's positions, use its intelligence, and carry its credential.
Why Join
The case for membership
Most operators discover a regulatory change when it costs them a trip. Members find out when it is still a proposal, with a written explanation of what it means for dispatch, and a channel to respond through.
The commercial argument is equally direct. Corporate travel buyers and planners increasingly ask for evidence of insurance, licensing and safety administration before awarding work. A verified association listing answers that question before it is asked.
Member Benefits
What membership includes
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.
04
Affiliate relationships that hold
Overflow and inbound work moves through a network of operators who share standards, insurance verification and billing terms.
05
Practical education
Workshops built by operators for operators: driver qualification files, inspection readiness, testing program administration, insurance renewal preparation.
06
Peers who run the same business
Quarterly meetings, networking breakfasts and the Annual Industry Dinner put owners in the same room to compare notes on problems they all share.
