I asked Question 2022/2674 in July. When will you respond?

I asked Question 2022/2692 in July. When will you respond? Am I to conclude that your lack of a timely response indicates that, just as with its bus operators, bus drivers and ferry car drivers, TfL does not possess any Covid-19 risk assessments for its Dial-A-Ride drivers?

Further to your failure to respond to Question 2022/3468, how can you reconcile your admission in Question 2022/2973 that “a short-term review of shift lengths, patterns and rotas, in response to recommendation 3 in the UCL report, has not yet been undertaken” with TfL’s statement on 21 March 2021 which implied it would be conducted by summer 2021?

Despite your lack of response to Question 2022/3476, on 8 June your Cycling and Walking Commissioner tweeted: "Dept of Justice is consulting on sentencing guidelines for road crimes. Please have your say. I think it's a chance to rebalance the system towards the needs of victims and enable the justice system to send much clearer & stronger deterrent messages”. Given your support for these ‘Motoring Offences Sentencing Guidelines’, will you be modifying EWT performance and iBus monitoring clauses in bus contracts to ensure that bus drivers are not ensnared by the new guideline’s harsher sentencing terms imposed for, inter alia...

In your disappointing response to Question 2022/2985, you stated that TfL was unable to “add additional columns of data showing the make, model and year of any bus involved in a collision incident where injuries have been recorded, and, where relevant, provide an additional column to identify when an Unintended Acceleration Incident has occurred” because “implementing this change is not as straightforward as TfL initially thought.” Given that it has been over 5 years since that request was first made, can you provide me with documentary evidence that shows (a) TfL ever seriously considered taking this action and (b) why...

How many toilets have been withdrawn from service to bus drivers over the course of your mayoralty? Please identify which routes and when these services were withdrawn.

In your response to, inter alia, Question 2022/2688, you state "TfL has made significant progress since 2018 with 64 new toilets provided for bus drivers.” Does this figure include a number of Portaloos which have been withdrawn after successful protests from local residents?

In your response to Question 2019/8818, you stated "As Transport for London does not directly employ bus drivers, it does not collect or hold data on how they travel to and from bus depots”. Given numerous statements coming from City Hall and Palestra House that (a) TfL’s Bus Safety Programme is “evidence-led” and (b) combatting ‘Bus Driver Fatigue’ is considered a priority, how can you justify TfL’s ignorance of knowing the amount of time a London bus driver has already driven before he or she starts working a 12-14 hour shift behind the wheel of a London bus?

Taking into account your lack of response to Question 2022/2987, in your responses to questions 2022/0140, 0142, 0143, and 0144 which inquired whether or not TfL asks if respectively bus driver experience, overtime, fatigue or controller instructions are investigated in any case where someone is killed injured in a ‘Bus Safety Incident’, you assured me this information ‘is requested from the bus operators….where an incident has met TfL’s criteria to trigger an investigation’. However, a review of the fatal 66 ‘Lethal Collisions’ & 16 ‘Onboard Safety Incidents’ which have occurred since 2015 published on TfL’s website reveals that only a...

Please can you provide me with copies of all internal communication (emails, memorandums, handwritten notes, WhatsApp texts) related to TfL’s preparation of its response to question 2022/2973 regarding TfL’s failure to conduct a "Short Term Review of Shift Lengths, Patterns and Rotas” as recommended by Recommendation 3 of UCL IHE’s Phase 2 Study?
