Transport for London (TfL) has made 30 million GBP of funding available to deliver bus infrastructure and operational improvements in three boroughs.
This funding is being awarded through the new Better Bus Partnerships programme.
Through this allocation, three boroughs could each receive up to 10 million GBP to help improve bus journey times.
Investments could include new bus priority measures, better management of road works to reduce delays to buses, improvements to stops and stations to make it easier to change between buses and other modes of transport, and improvements to streets to make it easier to walk to bus stops and stations.
This funding has been announced alongside the availability of 50 million GBP for boroughs to deliver road safety improvements as part of the Mayor’s Vision Zero goal.
Penny Rees, TfL's Head of Healthy Streets Investment, said:We are delighted to announce two new funding opportunities available to boroughs to continue their vital work improving road safety and investing in bus priority and bus infrastructure. Working closely with London's boroughs is central to achieving a cleaner, greener and healthier London by reducing road danger, improving air quality and encouraging active travel. We look forward to working closely with the boroughs to deliver projects that make our city greener, safer and better for everyone.
