Transport for London monitoring of 'close pass' driving by London bus drivers

  • Reference: 2017/2196
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
I asked Transport for London (TfL) how it records public complaints about 'close pass' driving by bus drivers. TfL said "All of the complaints we receive are given a code when logged, but there isn't a code this detailed so we cannot provide an exact number for you. The closest code we use is 'Driver - Poor / Dangerous Driving', which will not illustrate how many of the complaints relate to buses driving too close to cyclists." Will you ask TfL to introduce a new code so that it can record and monitor incidents of this type?

Online tool to report 'close pass' driving by London bus drivers

  • Reference: 2017/2195
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
I have received numerous reports of London bus drivers failing to leave enough space when passing cyclists. Will Transport for London (TfL) provide an online tool or an app where a date, time, location and route number can be entered by members of the public, with TfL following up once a driver has been reported a number of times?

Training for bus drivers on how to drive safely past cyclists

  • Reference: 2017/2194

  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
As part of the In the Zone bus safety training module, how much space are bus drivers advised to leave cyclists they are passing on London's roads?

London Plan - cycle parking at rail stations

  • Reference: 2017/2193
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
The London Plan states that cycle parking provision at stations is "to be considered on a case by case basis through liaison with Transport for London (TfL)." TfL are currently developing a portfolio of more than 50 station sites, and there is no provision for public cycle hubs. Will you ensure that TfL is compelled, through the next London Plan, to make such provision?

Creative Enterprise Zones

You have promised to work with local authorities to develop Creative Enterprise Zones to support artists and creatives. Where will these zones be located and what is the timetable?

Bus Operator of the Year Award

  • Reference: 2017/2191
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Thank you for your response to my question 2017/2071. Will you ensure from now on that the 'broad set of factors' Transport for London (TfL) bases its recommendations on includes 'injuries sustained in collisions with buses'?

Energy for Londoners - options report

  • Reference: 2017/2190
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Will you publish the Energy for Londoners 'options appraisal' report you commissioned alongside your forthcoming environment strategy?

Transport for London - energy procurement

  • Reference: 2017/2189
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Given that Transport for London (TfL) is the biggest energy consumer in London and one of the top 10 electricity consumers in the UK, will you use this procurement opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation process of the power sector, setting zero carbon energy targets in line with the Paris Climate Change agreement?

President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Change agreement

  • Reference: 2017/2188
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
President Trump's decision to abandon the Paris Climate Change agreement means that, in order to avoid catastrophic climate change, other nations and global cities like London will have to significantly intensify their efforts to decarbonise and accelerate zero carbon energy generation. What impact will this decision have on your overall carbon reduction target? Will you be revising it to ensure it is still consistent with the Paris agreement in this new context?

Cleaner vehicle checker

  • Reference: 2017/2187
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
I welcome the announcement of your 'cleaner vehicles check' scheme to provide the public with independent test results of all new vehicles based on 'real-world driving emissions'. Will you look at the feasibility of using this for setting a ULEZ standard for diesel vehicles, so that Euro 6 diesel models found to be significantly over the emissions specified by manufacturers are charged the same as other non-compliant vehicles?
