Working with the Department for Transport

We work closely with the Department for Transport to ensure the government invests in London, the powerhouse of the UK economy.

What is the Department for Transport?

The Department for Transport (DfT) is the government department responsible for transport in the UK.

Working with the DfT on projects of national importance

The DfT provides leadership on transport nationwide, working with regional partners to deliver many services. We work with the DfT on projects of national importance with Crossrail being a very good example of this.

We also work with the Highway’s Agency, an executive agency of DfT, which operates the motorways in and around London.

Championing London

As well as working on large projects together, we use our partnership with DfT to make sure our city’s transport interests are recognised and supported by central government.
