Transport strategy
Our Transport Strategy team deals with policy development and is responsible for:
- Supervising and producing the Local Implementation Plan and Borough Spending Plan, Car Free Housing and City Car Clubs.
- Developing and promoting workplace travel plans and a walking strategy.
- Working with schools and local groups to develop and implement a school travel plan.
- Monitoring and assessing the transport impacts of developmental control issues; working with town planners to ensure transport strategy is implemented by Lambeth planners.
- Developing and promoting a cycling strategy and cycling schemes.
Every year, Lambeth, along with all other London boroughs, makes a submission for funding from Transport for London for traffic and transport projects.
A School Travel Plan is a package of measures designed to reduce congestion caused by the school run and seeks to encourage healthier ways of travelling to school such as walking and cycling. It also promotes the use of public transport and car sharing on the school run.
The Lambeth Transport Local Implementation Plan is how we will deliver the London Mayor's Transport Strategy and forms the basis for future funding bids for projects until 2011.
A workplace travel plan is a strategy for introducing a set of initiatives for encouraging and supporting staff and visitors to travel by alternatives to driving alone. In addition, a travel plan can address other aspects of an organisation’s transport and travel such as fleet vehicles and deliveries.
