TfL's Safer Lorries Initiative is Commendable

Transport for London (TfL) has recently introduced a new procurement programme, which is being praised for its potential of enhancing safety throughout the city. Launched in April this year, the ‘safer lorries’ initiative aims to protect cyclists throughout London by allowing only the safest lorries and best-trained motorists to serve the TfL network. Safety observance, defensive driving and preventative measures will help in streamlining procurement for TfL. The initiative is expected to help London become a safer place for non-motorised traffic.

Under the new regulations, drivers as well as contractors working for TfL will require a bronze accreditation in the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS). The ‘safer lorries’ initiative, together with FORS, has received the accolade of ‘best London cycling initiative’ in the London Cycling Awards. Besides changing the way haulage operators view their responsibilities, this initiative is also enhancing and transforming procurement procedures in London.
