Transport for LondonMayor's Transport Strategy
If you have any queries, please email mts@london.gov.uk
Prior to this a consultation took place on the Statement of Intent with the London Assembly and functional bodies in spring 2009.
The consultation on the draft MTS is now closed. We will draft a report and make recommendations to the Mayor on the strategy following the results.
The final MTS will be published in spring 2010.
The draft MTS sets out the Mayor's vision for transport in the Capital over the next 20 years. It prepares for London's predicted growth of 1.3 million more people and 0.75 million more jobs by 2031 and supports sustainable growth across central, inner and outer London.
Key improvements include:
- Transforming the Tube
- Enhancing rail
- The cycling revolution
- Making walking count
- Improving London's buses
- Better information
- Better streets and environment
- Making better use of the Thames
Congestion Charging Western Extension
The Draft Mayor's Transport Strategy ("MTS") contained a proposal (Proposal 127) to remove the Western Extension from the central London Congestion Charging Zone. The Mayor will now consider the responses submitted by stakeholders and the public to that and the other proposals in the Draft MTS, along with information about the impacts of removing the Western Extension Zone (WEZ).
Should the Mayor confirm Proposal 127, it will be included in the final version of his published Transport Strategy. Soon after the new MTS is published TfL can start the final part of the legal process, with a view to ending congestion charging in the WEZ by the end of December 2010. This involves TfL making something called a "Variation Order", which will set out the precise details of removal e.g. the exact line of the boundary with the remaining charging zone.
The law requires that the public and stakeholders are consulted on the proposals contained in the Variation Order. The Mayor is then required by law to decide whether or not to confirm the Variation Order (with or without modification) taking into account submissions made by stakeholders and the public during the consultation. If and when confirmed, the Greater London (Central Zone) Congestion Charging Order 2004 will be amended to remove the area of the Western Extension from the congestion charging zone.
