TfL Youth Panel
Our Youth Panel was set up to get the views of young people on transport policy, youth initiatives and campaigns. Members are drawn from a number of youth organisations, including Platform 51, UK Youth, The Prince's Trust, The Children's Society, GLA Peer Outreach Workers and the British Youth Council.
The panel's activities include:
- Helping us shape our plans for young people
- Advocating for and helping to spread campaign messages to their peers on issues like Teen Road Safety, Zip It, Safer Travel at Night and Considerate Travel
- Taking part in engagement events and responding to the Mayor's Transport Strategy consultation
