Pedal Confusion: Understanding Risks and Developing Solutions

  • Reference: 2024/2886
  • Question by: Neil Garratt
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2024
In response to Mayoral Question 2024/2235, you stated, "Transport for London is the only authority mandating the use of pedal cameras on buses and they have been fundamental to first understanding the risk, and then to informing the development of solutions to prevent and mitigate it." According to data TfL has made available on its website, it has been funding research on pedal confusion since 2011.

Bus Crash Investigations

  • Reference: 2024/2884
  • Question by: Neil Garratt
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2024
In your response to Mayoral Question 2023/0930, you stated, "the type of shift being worked at the time of an incident is not information that is routinely captured as part of the bus operator’s initial incident reporting to Transport for London (TfL)". In your response to Mayoral Question 2023/1655, you stated, "I have asked Transport for London to explore the feasibility of introducing 'the type of shift being worked' as part of its new incident reporting and investigation system requirements". Can we presume that TfL is now collecting this critical safety performance data from its bus contractors? If not, why...

Vision Zero: Bus Service Controller Priorities

  • Reference: 2024/2877
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2024

Is it TfL policy to instruct bus operators to ensure their service controllers give bus driver welfare priority over their contracted headway targets? If so, can you provide me with a copy of this policy? If not, why doesn't this policy exist?
