RT @SadiqKhan: Constructive meeting with new Transport Secretary @Mark_J_Harper today.
Together with @TfL Commissioner Andy Lord and @SebDance we discussed our shared goal of working to ensure our public transport network meets the needs of our growing capital city.
RT @RossLydall: Editorial @thetimes: @SadiqKhan is right to expand the Ulez to the Greater London boundary
On the day London-wide ULEZ is announced check the air quality in your part of London and how much has already been cleaned up
RT @MayorofLondon: Great news for our capital and efforts to tackle the climate emergency 🌍
London now has the most public electric vehicle charging points by volume and share of any European city.
The shift to EVs is imperative to cleaning up our air & bringing down harmful emissions.
London is leading the way in transforming our poor air and fighting climate change. @MayorofLondon announces that @TfL will start roll-out process for 100 sites across the capital to have super-fast charging points. First 25 to be announced next week 🔌
Buses are the unsung hero of the transport network and a vital service for many. @TfL services previously under threat have been saved.
RT @LDN_pressoffice: Additional funding provided by @MayorofLondon means @TfL has been able to save the vast majority of bus routes that were at risk due to the conditions in the Govt's funding deal for TfL.
RT @MayorofLondon: NEW: We've secured additional funding to save the majority of the 70+ bus routes in London that were under threat due to the conditions of the Govt's funding deal for TfL.
Buses are a vital part of our transport network, so this is fantastic news for all Londoners. 1/3
RT @nytimes: Five people were killed on Saturday night when a gunman opened fire in Club Q, a cherished hangout for the LGBTQ community in Colorado Springs. Here's what we know about the victims. https://t.co/Lqh8Q2Hoyc
RT @Benji_dxb: The #SmartTransportConf kicks off with @StephenJoseph7 chairing, a great opener on London’s transport challenges and opportunities by @SebDance, and @RuthCadbury next up. Looks like we’re in for good day!
RT @EmilyCherryCEO: Great to hear @SebDance @TfL open #smarttransportconf talking about the importance of #ActiveTravel #cycling in reaching #NetZero, tackling #ClimateCrisis, growing #economy & supporting #PublicHealth
RT @SadiqKhan: The impact the Elizabeth Line has had in just six months is phenomenal.
Faster connections into the heart of central London has provided a much needed boost to the capital and it’s helping to contribute £42bn to the UK economy.
RT @SadiqKhan: The Elizabeth line opened six months ago today 💜.
Serving 41 stations, it has capacity for 200 million passenger journeys a year.
It’s an incredible achievement for our city. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/elizabeth-line-london-tfl-passenger-numbers-six-months-bond-street-opening-sadiq-khan-b1041399.html
@craftylotus @johnfulham Oh wow. This is my new favourite thing!!!
RT @SadiqKhan: Let’s be honest: Brexit isn’t working.
British exporters are struggling, our living standards are falling and the UK is now the only G7 country with a smaller economy than before the pandemic.
Unless we face up to the harm Brexit is causing we can't start to address it.
RT @willnorman: Slower speeds save lives.
We're planning to introduce another 28km of 20mph zones TfL roads in Camden, Islington, Hackney, Haringey & Tower Hamlets.
We'll work with the Met to ensure drivers comply with the new limits.
@visitcamberwell Not a problem! Interesting idea. It’s going to be a long and intense pathway to achieve something that most people are comfortable with - but all ideas welcome.
@Tony_Devenish Hardly. They’re all necessary journeys - which would be made far easier without the unnecessary ones. If more people who can chose other options there’d be more road space those who need it.
@visitcamberwell I didn’t drive to the London Assembly. That would have been both unnecessary and counter-productive vs the tube & DLR!
RT @SadiqKhan: New Government air quality targets are too weak and condemn yet another generation to years of dirty air.
You can’t kick the can down the road when it comes to people’s health.
We’re working hard to clean up London’s toxic air - the Govt needs to step up.https://www.standard.co.uk/news/health/toxic-air-pollution-london-health-brexit-sadiq-khan-european-union-b1040246.html
RT @nicholascecil: EXCLUSIVE: Ministers accused of condemning another generation of children to breathing toxic air in London and other parts of UK by setting a target to tackle it only by 2040..and watering down target compared to EU after Brexit despite pledge not to do so https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/toxic-air-london-children-pollution-brexit-delay-harm-lungs-heart-b1039833.html
