  • Reference: 2016/3566
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Your response to Question 2016/2455 showed that TfL does not intend to introduce safety performance clauses in its bus contracts until December 2017. Why will it take so long to do this?

Bus Safety Programme (5)

  • Reference: 2016/3565
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Following your response to my Question 2016/2979 and your statement that TfL is now using "Haddon's matrix," of the 61 people sent to hospital with serious injuries resulting from bus collisions in the first quarter of 2016, how many of these people are still in hospital? Do you know if these people have returned to work or are still under treatment?

Bus Safety Programme (4)

  • Reference: 2016/3564
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
In response to Mayoral Question 374/2012 the previous Mayor stated "TfL is made aware of accidents and collisions through a reporting process, but we are not given copies of investigation reports." If TfL does not receive copies of incident investigation reports and does not know the outcome of safety complaints, how is "Haddon's Matrix" relevant?

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Further to your answer to Question 2016/2979 is TfL's failure to meet its own safety data publishing goals so early in the Bus Safety Programme of concern to you? Please also clarify why TfL doesn't have basic incident data immediately on hand and is instead relying on other agencies to manage its safety reporting.

Further to your response to my Question 2016/2979 about TfL's Bus Safety Programme, can you clarify who at TfL will be held directly accountable for meeting the goals of the Bus Safety Programme and can you confirm that individual has the resources and staff to support its implementation.

TfL's Bus Safety Programme (1)

  • Reference: 2016/3561
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
I understand from a TfL freedom of information reply (FOI-0734-1617) that TfL is spending over £5 million over two years on a 2-day Training Programme "Hello London" that will be attended by all of London's 24,000 Bus Drivers, geared toward improving Bus Drivers' manners. We also know from a previous Mayoral Question (Question 2014/4143) that TfL spent £1.45 million on its 2014 "Year of the Bus" celebration. However, your response to recent Mayoral Questions (2016/2487 and 2016/2455) requesting details for the budget for TfL's "Bus Safety Programme" provided no information. Can you please now provide the exact budget for TfL's...

Further to your answer to Question 2016/2944 where you reiterate your commitment that no more of Londoner's taxes that you control will go into the Garden Bridge, what specific assurances are you seeking from the Garden Bridge Trust to convince you that your commitment can be met while still offering a GLA financial guarantee for the maintenance and upkeep of the bridge? Will you expect the Garden Bridge Trust to provide an endowment fund to ensure that the yearly maintenance and upkeep costs can be met on a long term and sustainable basis, and if so what would you estimate...

Lorry safety in London (2)

  • Reference: 2016/3558
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Your announcement on the 30th September 2016 on your proposals to rid London's roads of the most dangerous lorries failed to incorporate the proposal of retrofitting clear vision panels in passenger-side doors, despite 82% of all respondents to a recent TfL consultation stating they supported or strongly supported this proposal. Please publish in full the research that TfL has obtained that supports its recent claim that fitting glass panels would only deliver a very limited improvement in vision for drivers and that glass panels are not suitable for all vehicle types.
