The GLA’s Expenses and Benefits Framework is published on the GLA’s website.
It states ‘Elected Members and staff must consider using the least environmentally damaging mode of transport for necessary travel. This includes using the train or bus, rather than planes, cars and/or taxis, due to lower per passenger emissions associated with the former modes'.
Where reasonable alternatives exist, the GLA does not support flying, particularly within the UK or to the near continent.
The Mayor and Assembly are committed to the use of public transport: everyone at the GLA is expected to use walking, cycling and public transport for work purposes wherever possible.
