Mayor's Transport Strategy

It is a key part of a strategic policy framework to support and shape London's social and economic development.

How the strategy was developed

• In 2008 the Mayor published ‘Way to Go’, a consultation which took a broad approach to London’s transport. The following year, to build on that work, the Mayor delegated responsibility for developing a detailed draft strategy to Transport for London (TfL), part of the GLA group.

• In Autumn 2009, following a statutory consultation with the London Assembly, there was a public consultation on the draft Transport Strategy. TfL then delivered a report to the Mayor detailing the responses to the consultation.

This is the first two PDFs and features the Introduction, Table of Contents and Executive Summary (Chapter one), the Vision (Chapter 2) and Context (Chapter 3) of the strategy.

This section is divided into eight documents, and looks at the Challenges and strategic policies (Chapter 4), Transport proposals (Chapter 5, pt1), Proposals to encourage more cycling and walking (Chapter 5, pt2), Proposals to improve safety and security (Chapter 5, pt3), Proposals to improve London's environment (Chapter 5, pt4), Proposals to reduce transport's contribution to climate change (Chapter 5, pt5), Proposals to manage the demand for travel (Chapter 5, pt6) and the Expected outcomes of the strategy (Chapter 6).
