Welcome to Transport for London's Public Affairs website.

Transport for London (TfL) is the integrated body responsible for the
capital's transport system. It exists to keep London on the move and provide
access to the wide range of employment, health, social, shopping and leisure
opportunities and facilities in London. Its role is to implement the Mayor's
Transport Strategy for London and manage the transport services across the
capital for which the Mayor has responsibility.

It provides London's travelling public with an efficient, effective and safe
transport system. It manages London's buses, the Underground, the Dockland
Light Railway and Croydon Tramlink, a 580 km network of main roads, all of
London's 4600 traffic lights and has a strategic role in proactive road
network and traffic management. TfL also runs London River Services,
Victoria Coach Station and London's Transport Museum, and regulates taxis
and the private hire trade.

TfL funds Taxicard (in conjunction with London's Boroughs) as well as
running the Dial-a-Ride service for those who need door-to-door transport.
Considerable work is being undertaken to improve conditions for pedestrians,
cyclists and freight, on road safety, to improve the street environment, and
to reduce congestion on London's streets through the Congestion Charging
scheme.

TfL is accountable for both the planning and delivery of transport
facilities, which enables it to take a truly integrated approach to how
people, goods and services move around London.

TfL is directed by a management board whose Members are chosen for their
understanding of transport matters and appointed by Ken Livingstone, Mayor
of London, who chairs the TfL Board.
