The Committee's report - Charging Ahead - finds progress has been made since 2009, when the Mayor committed to making London the electric car capital of Europe.
However, he faces a formidable challenge ahead to achieve his targets. For example:

Transport for London's customer service, by Val Shawcross AM on behalf of our Transport Committee, welcomes improvements Transport for London (TfL) has already made, but calls on it to do more to improve the experience of passengers who get in touch.
TfL has billions of passengers a year and receives around 10,000 calls and almost half a million visits to its website a day. Some passengers are unclear about who to contact or why decisions have been made, or thwarted by confusing online information.

Land alongside 450 miles of train tracks in London offers a number of benefits including improving the appearance of the capital, providing privacy and it is seen by residents as a barrier to the noise and dust of passing trains.
It is also an ecological asset – London Underground’s trackside land alone amounts to 10 per cent of all green spaces in the capital – and provides a home to wildlife.

The planned budget for running the new Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPC) is no lower than it was for the Metropolitan Police Authority - which it replaces - and its budget is not set to reduce over the next three years.
However other organisations within the GLA group are being asked to make significant efficiency savings, including the MPS whose budget is set to reduce by eight per cent over the next three years.
Our Budget and Performance Committee says the Mayor should set out the savings he expects from the MOPC in his next version of the budget proposals.

Read the letter from our Committee Chair John Biggs, TfL’s response and TfL’s guidance for assessing potential sponsors:

Our Health and Public Services Committee has written to the Mayor’s Health Advisor, Pamela Chesters, about the importance of including mental health in the work programme of the London Health Improvement Board.
The Committee also wrote to NHS London about the need for regional oversight of mental health services from 2013 in order to share best practice and ensure consistency of approach.

Our report sets out a range of measures aimed at improving conditions for the one in four Londoners who live in the private rented sector.
Our Planning and Housing Committee found that about a third of the private rented sector in London – around 280,000 homes - fails to meet the “decent homes” standard used in the social rented sector, and one in three private landlords is considered to be “rogue”, leaving tenants at the mercy of poor conditions or sudden eviction.
15 December, 2011 - 12:20
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) is the busiest in the country, with 1.5 million 999 calls a year and, at a time of cost cutting and staff reductions, demand is rising.
Our Health and Public Services Committee says that to cope with these challenges, the LAS should work more closely with the capital’s police, fire and transport organisations, which are led by the Mayor, to find efficiencies.
The report says the LAS could share ambulance stations with the London Fire Brigade - currently 41 percent of ambulance stations in London have a fire station within 1 km.

Our report Plugging the Energy Gap calls on the Government to work with regions like London to keep financial and environmental costs down as it works to replace older and more polluting power stations and halve carbon emissions.
This is anticipated to cost around £200 billion over the next decade, raising the prospect of higher energy bills in the future.
We call on the Government to take elements of the Mayor’s RE:NEW programme as a model for its ‘Green Deal’ proposals[3] to help improve energy efficiency nationally.
