  3. Breaking Records • On the Tube, 62 million journeys during the Olympics – 35% above normal. A record 4.57 million tube journeys on 7 August • On DLR, 6.9 million journeys during the Olympics – double normal levels • On London Overground, 6.3 million journeys during the Olympics – up 54% on 2011 • 86 million passengers on London Buses during the Games • Barclays Cycle Hire saw record usage - 1 million hires in a month (July) • An additional 1.03m walking & cycling trips per day during the Games compared to an average day in 2011

  4. Achievement • Our research shows that: • Approximately 84% of freight operators and 89% of businesses were aware of the information available to help them plan for the Games • Only 20% of freight operators who made deliveries/collections during the Games had issues • Night time deliveries increased during the Games, with 17% of freight operators and 12% of businesses introducing or increasing our of hours deliveries • 35% of London workers changed their travel behaviour on any given day • More than a fifth of employees (22%) worked from home and 28% changed the time they left for work • Businesses delivered a balanced blend of 4 R’s (Re-time, Re-route, Reduce, Re-mode)

  5. Post Games challenge • The ‘burning platform’ of The Games was the catalyst to successful engagement with London businesses • Our challenge: why should business continue to work in partnership with TfL in the future? • Increased demand 12% or 940,000 more people using the network by 2031 • 30% increase in freight deliveries in next 20 years • Transformation of the network will create ongoing challenges • Broad range of long term benefits for business (e.g. reduced costs and absenteeism) • Working with TfL to address these challenges will help to reduce the impact on London’s economy

  6. Legacy in action • New ‘Cycling Vision’ – 10 year plan with significant budget £913M • Extension of Barclays Cycle Hire scheme continues • Prudential RideLondon will take place on a course taking in the Olympic Park, central London and Surrey from 2013 • New Roads Safety Action Plan published • New Roads Task Force Strategy announced yesterday • Planning for Ultra Low Emission Zone proposed from 2020 • Enhanced Freight Team and strategy • New Travel Demand Management (TDM) team

  7. TDM and Freight TDM and freight engagement will enable TfL to manage increased demands on the network We will provide specific, targeted and timely information to businesses around planned works such as London Bridge upgrade (in partnership with Network Rail) Enable stakeholders to plan for events that impact their operations e.g. Prudential RideLondon Work with businesses to ease congestion in hotspot areas e.g. southern section of the Northern Line
