Sub-regional transport strategy - South

From 2011 to 2013, the south London boroughs, South London partnership and other stakeholders in the region have worked closely together in developing this Sub-regional transport plan (SRTP). The plans set out the transport strategy to address the particular challenges faced by each London sub-region, of which there are five. The plans are informed by the Mayor's transport strategy (MTS) and by local authority transport priorities for improvement. The plans provide a sub-regional context for individual local authority local implementation plans (LIPs). The SRTS sets out contributions to meeting the challenges, and hence the outcomes, of the MTS and forms a bridge between the MTS and individual local authority transport objectives.

Borough-wide transport strategy (BWTS)

A baseline review identifies current constraints across the transport network and considers the impact of two proposed growth options as set out within the draft local development framework (LDF). An important element in the evidence review is the 'gap analysis' of current and future transport provision, which identifies priorities and solutions.

Biking borough

In December 2009 Transport for London (TfL) offered a limited number of 'biking borough' grants to outer London boroughs. The grants were for work to help boroughs shape their cycling strategy to assist in achieving the Mayor's 400% increase in cycling by 2026. The idea behind biking boroughs is to promote cycling in an integrated way across boroughs, particularly in outer London. This means encouraging cycling through improvements in infrastructure, in combination with smarter travel initiatives such as promotion, training and behavioural change programmes. It also means working with partners such as the police, healthcare providers, schools and workplaces across the borough to ensure a consistent and integrated approach.
