TfL's approach to developing a sustainable transport system focuses on implementing the Mayor's Transport Strategy through committed investments and a portfolio of work programmes. This includes increasing public transport, walking and cycling by 6% by 2031 to support London's growing population and economy while reducing emissions. TfL reflects that clear goals, leadership, stakeholder support and building on successes have allowed it to achieve a 7% modal shift to more sustainable modes and make progress on emissions reductions.
