The future of London transport

Transport Committee – 10am

The Transport Committee is investigating what London and Londoners will need from the city’s transport services when the pandemic begins to lift. With companies committing to long term working from home set-ups, and Londoners spending more time in their local neighbourhood or moving out of the city, it is likely people will be travelling across the capital in different ways. How will Transport for London and the Mayor respond? The guests are:

• Alex Williams, Director of City Planning, Transport for London
• Christina Calderato, Head of Transport Strategy and Planning, Transport for London
• Emma Gibson, Director, London TravelWatch
• Norman Baker, Adviser to the CEO, Campaign for Better Transport
• John Dickie, Director of Strategy and Policy, London First
