The Olympic Host City Contract for the 2012 Games states that `The Organising Committee of the Olympic Games shall provide a safe, reliable and efficient system of transport, free of charge, for the [Olympic family]'. The Olympic Transport Plan states that `The Host City Contract requires LOCOG to provide safe, secure and reliable road transport for all Olympic Family and Paralympic Family client groups.' How do you explain this difference and is there in fact any legal requirement to provide road transport for the Olympic Family?

• Meeting date: 30 January 2008

Given that estimated traffic flows have fallen slightly in 19 out of 32 London boroughs since 2000, do you think a future Transport Strategy should make traffic reduction a key policy priority? Would a 10% reduction in London traffic by 2012 do more to reduce air pollution and climate change emissions from transport than any other single policy measure?
