STATS19 and TfL Performance Scorecard

  • Reference: 2025/1470
  • Question by: Neil Garratt
  • Meeting date: 22 May 2025
In your response to question 2025/0970, you revealed that "Fatalities which do not meet the STATS19 criteria are not included in the STATS19 data and are therefore not included in TfL’s road safety targets and baseline." Can you confirm that only STATS19 data are used to compile the road safety targets and baselines used for TfL's ‘Performance Scorecard’, upon which, inter alia, the amount of executives' annual bonuses are calculated?
