The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy is out for consultation.
It is the job of the London Assembly Transport Committee to scrutinise the content of the strategy and respond to the draft.
The strategy proposes three overarching themes; healthy streets and healthy people, a good public transport experience and new homes and jobs.
- What do the transport experts think of the themes?
- Do they agree with the Mayor’s strategic objectives?
- Is the 80% target of all journeys being sustainable modes achievable?
- Will the Mayor reform or replace the Congestion Charge?
- Have the right challenges been identified?
- What are the key strengths and are there any significant omissions?
