8 The MTS focuses on Healthy Streets 1. Healthy Streets and healthy people 2017 TRL Ltd Creating streets and street networks that encourage walking, cycling and public transport use will reduce car dependency and the health problems it creates 2. A good public transport experience An easy to use and accessible public transport system is an essential part of the Healthy Streets Approach as it gives people alternatives to car use 3. New homes and jobs Planning the city around walking, cycling and public transport use will unlock growth in new areas and ensure that London grows in a way that benefits everyone

11 The emergent network comprises a mix of route types Segregated routes on main roads Treatments on quiet routes Local centres

12 Supported by a range of enabling measures

17 Cycling in London: The Road Ahead 2017 TRL Ltd

18 Addressing the challenges ahead Strategic Cycle Analysis Challenges: We must: The Mayor s ambitions (physical activity and car reduction) Maximising funding and value for money Alignment with other modes (bus and walking) target investment where impact is the highest Achieve multiple outcomes with less funding

19 Strategic Cycling Analysis: Prioritising London s new cycling connections Current demand + Switchable (future) trips + Future growth Top 20% links for current cycle trips Top links for switchable trips + areas where residents cycle or are likely to start doing so Top 20% areas for expected housing and jobs growth

20 The next 25 years? London s future prioritised network Targeting current and future demand for cycling Specific route alignments not identified Criteria adjusted for outer London, so all areas had top priorities

21 Next Steps Continue to refine the Strategic Cycling Analysis Delivery of TfL s Business Plan 25 new priority corridors identify feasibility and way forward Development of local networks Liveable Neighbourhoods, borough strategies, growth areas and developments Supporting measures and next generation of projects (e.g. dockless cycle hire, e-bikes etc)
