Transport

The North London Transport Forum, as part of the NLSA, is the sub regional transport partnership for north London. The partnership's ongoing objectives include raising the profile of north London, addressing gaps in transport provision and supporting sustainable growth.

Key challenges for North London are how the existing transport network can address current problems and additional demand placed on it in light of forecast growth. Central to this is making sure that national and regional investment plans will meet this demand and deliver sub-regional aspirations. To meet these challenges our top level priorities have been identified as:

• Rail capacity increases and service improvements to meet growing demand.
• Bus network improved to encourage greater usage.
• Key interchanges upgraded to reduce congestion and accessibility to town centres improved to help them thrive.
• Road traffic delays reduced and cleaner vehicle and fuel technologies promoted.
• Improved safety and security on and around public transport.
• Sustainable transport promoted and modal shift encouraged.

These have been identified following discussions with a range of partners and are supported by a number of schemes and interventions, details of which are contained in the North London Transport Priorities paper.

The NLSA also coordinates the West Anglia Routes Group; an assocaition of twenty organisations who are working together to secure investment in the key rail corridor running from Liverpool Street through north london and out into Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire.
