Transport for London

What We Do

We are the integrated transport authority responsible for meeting Mayor Sadiq Khan’s strategy and commitments on transport in London. We run the day-to-day operation of the capital’s public transport network and manage London’s main roads.

The Mayor’s Transport Strategy

Transport is central to the vision of the Mayor, Sadiq Khan, to create a city for all Londoners. The Mayor’s Transport Strategy sets out his plans to transform London’s streets, improve public transport and create opportunities for new homes and jobs.

To achieve this, the Mayor wants to encourage more people to walk, cycle and use public transport.

“At its heart is a bold aim for 80% of all trips in London to be made on foot, by cycle or using public transport by 2041.
This is a big task and achieving it won’t be easy.”
The Mayor’s Approach

The strategy uses the Healthy Streets Approach. This makes health and personal experience the priority as we plan our city.

The Healthy Streets Approach will be applied to the whole transport system to help create:

  • Healthy Streets and Healthy People
    Streets make up 80% of London’s public spaces – making them Healthy Streets will improve the quality of life for everyone in London.
  • A Good Public Transport Experience
    Public transport is the most efficient way for people to travel distances that are too long to walk or cycle. A seamless, ‘whole-journey’ experience will provide an attractive alternative to using the car.
  • New Homes and Jobs
    London needs 65,000 new homes every year to meet demand, plus around 1.3 million more jobs by 2041. We have an opportunity to reshape London and make sure it grows in a way that improves the quality of life for everyone.

Transparency

We are committed to improving transparency for our customers and stakeholders and we are making more information available than ever before. Our Transparency Strategy sets out how we aim to be an open and accountable organisation.

TfL Transparency Strategy

We publish a huge amount of data on a range of subjects including contracts, expenditure, how reliable our services are, customer satisfaction, journey data, and our financial performance. This data helps people understand how we run London’s transport network, and how we spend the money raised through fares and taxes.

The Strategy explains our commitment to transparency, which starts with a presumption that all our information should be made publicly available (and, in the case of data, provided in machine readable form), unless there are legitimate reasons why not – for example, disproportionate cost, personal data or information which would harm our ability to maximise value for money for customers and tax payers.

Openness and transparency is helping to transform the way we operate. It strengthens our relationships with customers and stakeholders, and raises awareness of how we work with local communities and businesses to improve our services.
