Transport for London is to invest £94.8m across the 32 London boroughs and the City of London over the next year to make streets safer, healthier and greener. The funding will support borough-led projects across local road networks and comes alongside a new TfL report showcasing three years of joint achievements, including 147km of new protected cycle routes and nearly 400 pedestrian crossings.

This year’s funding will deliver new cycle routes to strengthen London’s growing Cycleways network, introduce more pedestrian crossings in local neighbourhoods, and expand School Streets, enabling children and young people to walk and cycle to school safely. This investment will also support measures to reduce road danger, lower speeds, expand cycle and micromobility parking and improve bus performance. It will kick-start delivery of the Better Bus Partnership, which aims to improve journey times, boost reliability and enhance the customer experience, with a target of cutting bus travel times by up to 30 per cent.

Subject to confirmation of TfL’s overall budget, more than £158m has been allocated for Healthy Streets in 2026/27, including £94.8m for boroughs to deliver the schemes set out in their approved Local Implementation Plans – an increase of over £7m compared with 2025/26. At this stage, £80.7m is being released to boroughs, split £33.2m for inner London and £47.5m for outer London, with more funding released through the year as scheme designs progress.

As outlined in the published report, between 2022 and 2025 London boroughs received a total of £218.93m to support delivery of the Mayor’s Vision Zero objective of eliminating all deaths and serious injuries from London’s transport network by 2041. The funding also supports the wider Healthy Streets’ goal to increase the use of sustainable travel. This investment underpins the Mayor’s ambition for 80 per cent of all trips in London to be made by walking, cycling or public transport by 2041.
