4 London Mayor’s Transport Strategy 1. Healthy Streets and 3. New homes and jobs healthy people 2. A good public “ Planning the city around transport experience walking, “ Creating streets and cycling and public street networks that “ An easy to use and transport use will unlock encourage walking, accessible public growth in cycling and public transport system is new areas and ensure that transport use will reduce an essential part of London grows car dependency and the the Healthy Streets in a way that benefits health problems it creates” Approach as it gives everyone” people alternatives to car use ”

6 Our Challenges

7 We have a rich history to build on... 1863 2018

8 Cooling the tube – solutions delivered to date • Air conditioned rolling stock – S-Stock fleet Mid-tunnel • Groundwater cooling ventilation • Fans installations • Fan and mid-tunnel ventilation upgrades • Chilled water system • Borehole cooling system • Supply MTVSs complete with cooling coils Trials & research In Train Hybrid Cooling Under Platform Exhaust Systems Regenerative Braking & Train Evaporative Cooling Optimisation Air Handling Unit – des ign development TfL Document Classification: TfL: Restricted (Part 1: Non Personal Data)

9 Surface Transport – Balancing road space with competing demands TfL Document Classification: TfL: Restricted (Part 1: Non Personal Data)

10 Engineering Skills – Matching the demand • Transport Infrastructure Skills Strategy – 2016 • Strategic Transport Apprentice Task Force – 2017 • Estimated annual shortfall of 59000 Engineers and Technicians • Target 20000 extra apprenticeships by 2020 • Need a Diverse and inclusive workforce BUT: • Only 26% of young girls even look at a career in STEM Transport needs engineering skills across all disciplines (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Software...) New and Legacy Technologies, to meet the challenges of moving millions of people around a World Class City TfL Document Classification: TfL: Restricted (Part 1: Non Personal Data)

11 Working to address the challenge – Future Engineers Who they are: Choices they’re making: Important influencers for our main audiences STUDENTS Choosing GCSE subjects (year 9) PARENTS (of students / Especially Choosing A levels, STUDENTS grads) that (year 11) apprenticeship subject or untapped first job leaving school TEACHERS potential: (including careers Women and GRADUATES role) under- Choosing first job or (STEM / non) further education represented RECRUITERS skills sets (agency and in- house) SWITCHERS Considering whether to (STEM / non) switch job TfL Document Classification: TfL: Restricted (Part 1: Non Personal Data)

12 TRANSPORT TARGETS 2.3% workforce 20% Technology and Parity with the 20% increase in BAME starting an Engineering working population candidates undertaking apprenticeship each apprentices women by an apprenticeship by 2030*** 2020 year Thank you TfL Document Classification: TfL: Restricted (Part 1: Non Personal Data)
