A range of measures, which are designed to make Transport for London (TfL) an even more transparent organisation, are set to be brought in following the publication of a new transparency strategy.
The plans come after a public consultation with customers and stakeholders, which asked for their views on the usefulness of the wide range of information currently published by TfL and how it is presented.
Actions that TfL will take include: publishing all replies to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests online; publishing a schedule, which will set out when TfL will publish regular information and datasets; making webcasts of Board meetings available for longer than the current six month period, via TfL’s YouTube channel; reviewing how information is presented on TfL’s website; identifying any gaps in the information TfL publishes about the number of customers using each service and standardising the presentation of this information; and publishing an update twice a year on the progress made by TfL to further increasing transparency, including making more open data freely available.
Mike Brown, MVO, London’s Transport Commissioner, said: “We are committed to being open and transparent, and we are making more information publicly available than ever before. We want our customers and stakeholders to be able to scrutinise how we operate and how our income is spent for the benefit of London.”
