3. We also need a more liveable city
Improve quality of life for our residents
International competitiveness requires a city that works AND is a place where people want to live
Transport critical to the solution
Sustainable travel
Better ‘places’
Air quality

4. An outcome based framework
Quality bus network
Reduced casualties
Reliable roads
Quality door-to-door transport
More and safer cycling
Harnessing the rivers’ potential
More and safer walking
Reduced crime
Safer, cleaner and more efficient deliveries
Improving the environment

5. A rapidly changing servicing and delivery industry
Rising demand: population and quality of life
Changing customer demand
Changing technology: use of real-time data, Connected & Autonomous Vehicles
Changing vehicles: fuel, safety features
Industry changes: internet ordering, omni- channel, near-sourcing, port-centric logistics
Fragmentation of supply chains: growth of vans
Skills shortages: drivers, managers
A higher political profile for freight: safety and congestion

6. Our recent journey
2012
2015 to
“Liveable London 2030: Developing a long term freight strategy”
How far to go?
At a minimum, expand best practice
Voluntary
Incentives
Regulation
Success in London 2012
High profile accidents
Raised desire to do more with freight
Games legacy activities
Two year programme to embed best practice
... but potentially a radically new role for TfL

7. Our strategy needs to balance the city’s economic and quality of life needs
Facilitating the moving goods and services in a way that supports a liveable city
Minimise impact on green environment
Minimise impact on safety
Supporting and enabling better places
A transport system that supports London’s continuing prosperity by enabling the efficient movement of goods and services
Delivery of goods and services at a fair cost to business and consumers
Minimise impact on road congestion

8. Maximising policy outcomes
Reduce overall demand for road trips 1

Demand 2
Retime/ reroute demand to better match network’s ability to cope

Goal
Time of day 3
Demand
Minimise impact of residual operations

9. Taking others with us We know: Our strategy must be flexible
We need an even better understanding – data and surveys
Take people with us – industry, businesses, politicians, cities
Embed deliveries and servicing activity in future projects
But we can also:
Work more closely with industry
Find ways of sharing data to inform better policies
