  2. London’s growth • Population: +1.7 million by 2030 • Equivalent to adding • Manhattan +

  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 • Air quality • Better ‘places’

  4. An outcome based framework • Quality bus network • Reduced casualties • Quality door-to-door transport • Reliable roads Harnessing the rivers’ potential More and safer cycling • 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 2012-2014 2015 to 2030 ... “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 A transport system that supports London’s continuing prosperity by enabling the efficient movement of goods and services • Minimise impact on road congestion Delivery of goods and services at a fair cost to business and consumers 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

  8. Maximising policy outcomes • Reduce overall demand for road trips 1 • Retime/ reroute demand to better match network’s ability to cope 2 • Growth • Today • Demand • Demand • Goal • Time of day • Time of day • Minimise impact of residual operations 3 • Demand • Time of day

  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
