Monitoring bus speeds in 20 mph areas

  • Reference: 2019/6088
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Intelligent Speed Adaption (ISA) is now in place on some buses. Given this and the range of devices on the bus fleet monitoring their location and progress, are you able to monitor buses being driven in excess of the speed limit?

Intelligent Speed Assistance

  • Reference: 2019/6087
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
The European Parliament has now supported Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) for new vehicles from 2022. Will you therefore bring forward work with Transport for London (TfL) and across the GLA portfolio to adopt mandatory ISA in your own fleet procurement programme, service procurement throughout London and in taxis and private hire by this date? And will you also encourage London boroughs to do the same for the vehicles and services that they procure?

Environmental representatives within London Buses

Diesel use in demand responsive buses

  • Reference: 2019/6083
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
It is proposed to use diesel buses for the demand responsive bus trial in Sutton. Given that these are minibus vehicles, why hasn’t Transport for London (TfL) been able to specify electric buses? What would be the expected lifetime of these buses under current TfL policies?

Silvertown Private Finance

  • Reference: 2019/6082
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
In 2018 HM Treasury announced it would no longer use Private Finance 2 (PF2), the current model of the Private Finance Initiative. HM Treasury has now told the Public Accounts Committee that it expects to provide clear data on the standing of Private Finance by Summer 2019. The Silvertown Tunnel is still set to be financed using a PF2-derived mechanism. Does it make sense to continue with this road tunnel even when the funding mechanism isn’t currently supported by HM Treasury?

The Independent Investment Programme Advisory Group (IIPAG) report to the 6 March 2019 meeting of the Transport for London (TfL) Programmes and Investment Committee, stated at 4.2: “IIPAG has frequently found it difficult to get a clear view of the history of a programme’s or project’s EFC [Estimated Final Cost], why it has changed, how the EFC compares with relevant budgets, and especially in the case of sub-programmes, how expenditure is tracking against delivery.” An EFC is a crucial measure of investment and progress. Will you ensure that suitable information is provided to “decision makers and assurers for sub-programmes and...

  • Reference: 2019/6080
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Transport for London (TfL) is updating the main database of road collision data, Accstats 2. Could TfL embrace a road danger reduction approach and name this database as Collstats 1 rather than Accstats 3 to reflect a focus on collisions rather than accidents?
