Mayor's Transport Strategy

The Mayor's Transport Strategy sets out his intentions for London transport. It explains how Transport for London (TfL) and partners will bring the plan into reality over the next 20 years.

The development of the strategy

In 2008 the Mayor published Way to Go, a consultation that took a broad approach to London’s transport. The following year the Mayor asked TfL to produce the draft Transport Strategy, requesting that they build on that earlier consultation.

In May 2009, the Mayor set out the foundations for the Transport Strategy in his Statement of Intent. A public consultation on the draft Transport Strategy followed in the autumn of that year. TfL provided a report to the Mayor detailing the responses to the consultation, which was broken down into the following:

• TfL report to the Mayor
• Report appendices
• Accent report and appendices

During the consultation period TfL published an Integrated Impact Assessment. Its role was to ensure that the strategy would make a real contribution in improving transport for Londoners and London.

The final strategy document was published on 10 May 2010 (read the Mayor’s formal decision to approve the strategy). Moving forward, London boroughs will play an important part in making the ambitions of the strategy a reality for Londoners. You can read more about their role in the Guidance on Developing the Second Local Implementation Plans.
