Reducing the impact of traffic • • Supporting sustainable forms of travel (walking, cycling and public transport) • Through Planning policies • Sustainable EV vehicle charging infrastructure • Reducing own direct fleet and staff travel emissions • Safe Streets
Key Projects • School Streets • Workplace Travel • Cycle Routes • Mobility Hubs • Low Traffic Neighbourhoods • Controlled Parking Zones • Cycle Training • Business Low Emission Neighbourhoods
Potential High Impact Interventions • Ambitious parking policies; e.g. differential parking – political support required • Low / Zero emission initiatives • Active Travel

1) Background 2) The task & targets 3) The approach 4) What this means locally
Task & targets • The CO 2 emissions trajectories set out for road transport in the Mayor’ Transport Strategy and London Environment Strategy form part of the Climate Action Plan, which is compatible with plans to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees above pre- industrial levels • 72% reduction in transport GHG emissions by 2041 • Zero carbon by 2050 15
1) Background 2) The task & targets 3) The approach 4) What this means locally
The approach 1. Reduce the need to travel and shift journeys to low and zero carbon ways of travel – walk, cycle and public transport – make them the mode of choice 2. Shift the remaining private vehicle fleet to zero tail pipe emission – electric and hydrogen 3. Clean-up our own operations – lead by example 4. Communication 17
The approach 1. Reduce the need to travel and shift travel to low and zero carbon ways of getting around – walk, cycle and public transport • Land-use planning – denser mixed-use development, focused around public transport access, zero or minimum car parking provision. • Traffic management and parking controls. • Investment in walking, cycling and public transport enabling more than 10% reduction in traffic by 2041. Achieving the 80% active, efficient and sustainable mode share target. 2. Shift the remaining private vehicle fleet to lower and eventually zero tail pipe emissions – electric and hydrogen • The congestion charge, Low Emission Zone (LEZ), and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). • Support for electric charge points and hydrogen refuelling stations • End of sale of fossil fuel vehicles in 2040 (end of sales of cars by 2030, all vehicles by 2040) – All newly registered cars and light goods vehicles driven in London to be zero emission from 2030; – All newly registered heavy vehicles driven in London to be zero emission by 2040 • London wide Zero Emissions Zone by 2050 18
The approach 3. Clean up own operations • TfL rail services decarbonised by 2030 • All buses to be zero emissions capable by 2037 • GLA group fleet: – cars zero emission capable by 2025. – All new purchased or leased vans to be ZEC from 2025 – GLA group fleet all heavy vehicles fossil fuel free from 2030 4. Communications • Climate change but do not forget the other benefits – Quality of life and well-being – Equity – Air quality – Public health – Road danger reduction – Noise – Severance – More effective use of land 19
1) Background 2) The task & targets 3) The approach 4) What this means locally
What this means locally 1. Reduce the need to travel and shift travel to low and zero carbon ways of getting around – walk, cycle and public transport • Redbridge target of 50% walking, cycling and using public transport by 2021 & 65% by 2041. Compared to 49% now. • Is what we are doing in the short term, as part of the Covid19 recovery, contributing to the longer term aim? • Carrots and sticks • Tipping the balance to make it relatively more attractive to travel by walking, cycling and public transport compared to car 21
What this means locally 1. Reduce the need to travel and shift travel to low and zero carbon ways of getting around – walk, cycle and public transport – Land-use and development policies – reduced parking or zero parking - Sutton – Streets as places and not just routes – Waltham Forest – High quality cycling network and secure / convenient cycle parking - Enfield – Bus priority – lanes, hours of operation - Hounslow – Low traffic neighbourhoods - filtered permeability restricting through vehicular traffic – Lambeth, Waltham Forest – School Streets, Play Streets – Lower speed limits - 20 mph limits – Merton, Kingston, Richmond borough- wide – Parking controls and charges - Richmond – Freight management – procurement, last mile, consolidation 22

24 7 JULY 2020 The Ultra Low Emission Zone expansion Andy Galligan Transport for London
ULTRA LOW EMISSION ZONE EXPANSION 25 London’s toxic air is a public health crisis • Thousands of Londoners die prematurely each year because of toxic air pollution. • London’s toxic air is stunting the growth of children’s lungs in ways that will affect them for the rest of their lives. • Toxic air pollution is a cause of cancer and it increases the risk of asthma, stroke and dementia. • London’s toxic air crisis is also an issue of social justice as air pollution is worse in more deprived areas. • Road transport is the biggest contributor to air pollution in London
26 ULTRA LOW EMISSION ZONE EXPANSION 8 April 2019 - Central London ULEZ Euro 3 £12.50 Euro 4 petrol or £12.50 Euro 6 diesel Euro VI £100 Euro IV PM £200 Euro 3 PM £100
