Transport Now and in the Future

London’s transport network needs to evolve as the city grows and the living and working patterns of Londoners change.



The Transport Committee report, Transport Now and in the Future, summarises five key areas for the Mayor of London to focus on:

1. Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure
2. Devolved suburban rail service
3. E-scooters and mico-mobility
4. Orbital transport in outer London
5. Freight

Key findings and recommendations of the report include:

• The Mayor should lobby the Government for more clarity over electric vehicle infrastructure and work to support harmonisation of charging networks in London.
• A metro-style suburban rail service is a high priority for Londoners, and the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) should continue to lobby for the devolution of suburban rail franchises.
• The Mayor and TfL should lobby the Government to carry out a review of micro-mobility vehicles urgently.
• The Mayor and TfL should continue to work with London Councils and boroughs on a draft byelaw for the regulation of dockless bikes and other dockless vehicles, with specific regard to adequate parking space and avoiding pedestrian and road obstruction.
• A wide range of public transport and active travel solutions are required to improve orbital transport in outer London.
• The changing nature of freight needs to be managed if the impact on Londoners is to be minimised.
