About us

Newride is an initiative of the Clear Zones Partnership.

The Clear Zones Partnership includes Camden Council, the City of Westminster and the City of London. The Clear Zones aim is to use partnership working between Central London Authorities to reduce congestion, air and noise pollution and improve the urban realm; the partnership uses innovative technologies and sustainable transport measures to achieve this aim. The newride website is one of a number of inter-related projects supported by the Partnership.

The Clear Zones initiative was originally set up by the DTI (Department for Trade and Industry) and Camden became one of nine Trailblazer authorities in 2001, which provided a forum for towns and cities to exchange ideas, with conferences, seminars and newsletters. Clear Zones is focussed at a local level and has aimed to make cities, like London more liveable, by: reducing the impact of road transport; managing air quality; promoting integrated transport; and urban renaissance and regeneration.

The Clear Zones Partnership strongly supports the objectives of the Mayor's Transport Strategy to: manage motor traffic; encourage modal shift to walking, cycling, public transport, and other more sustainable vehicles; reduce traffic pollution; and work in partnership. The Clear Zone strategy aims to help make London a destination of choice for the Olympics and one of the most walking friendly cities in the world by 2015.

Since 1999 the London Borough of Camden, the City of London and the City of Westminster have worked in partnership to deliver Clear Zone proposals within a specific area of central London, which covers an area south of Euston Road to the Strand in the three local authorities.

The newride website is designed and managed on behalf of the Partnership by Ecolane.
