Rapid Transit is changing how we move around London
Find out how bus-only lanes work and what the changes mean for you.
Our Future Mobility Network
The City of London and its partners at London Transit and the Middlesex London Health Unit have developed a long-term plan to prepare London's mobility system for change and growth expected from now to 2050. The Mobility Master Plan is London’s first fully integrated mobility plan, which considers all forms of mobility.
The Mobility Master Plan includes:
- Mode Share Target
- Strategies and Actions
- Mobility infrastructure recommendations
London’s Mobility & Transportation Working Group
Thank you to everyone who applied to join the Mobility & Transportation Working Group. Applications are now closed. This working group will provide input and feedback on mobility initiatives, including the implementation of the Mobility Master Plan.
If you're looking for a high-level overview, the Executive Summary is also available separately here.
The Mobility Master Plan (MMP) builds on several Council-approved plans. For easy reference, explore the supporting documents below:
Sidewalk and Walkability Improvements
Critical gaps in sidewalk infrastructure along major roads have been identified in addition to our existing City sidewalk programs, which implement sidewalks on neighbourhood streets based on community input.
Cycling Network
Transit Priority Network
A draft transit priority network map illustrates proposed rapid transit corridors, as well as transit priority routes, and transit-friendly areas that will increase access to jobs, destinations, healthcare and other major institutions. It has been strategically designed to support London’s most densely developing areas and to significantly improve the reliability of cross-city trips.

Mobility Network Public Consultation
Needs and Opportunities Report
The purpose of a Needs and Opportunities Report is to outline key mobility needs and opportunities in London based on analysis of London’s land use, population, employment and mobility trends, as well as policy direction and broader societal conditions. The report includes a comprehensive overview of the current mobility system in London, with a focus on identifying key trends, issues and constraints. It concludes with a summary of the key needs and opportunities identified throughout this phase of the study.
City Sets Mode Share Target
In April 2024, London City Council approved a mode share target for the Mobility Master Plan which sets a goal to increase the percentage of trips Londoners take using active modes of transportation and transit by 2050. The new mode share target – to be reviewed at least every four years and adjusted appropriately – would plan for an increase in the current walk, cycle, transit portion from 23% to 32.5% or greater and a decrease in the percentage of personal vehicle driving trips from 61% down to 52.5%.
Draft Evaluation Framework
The Mobility Master Plan will provide short and long-term infrastructure project recommendations through to 2050. All transportation related infrastructure projects will be evaluated as part of the Mobility Master Plan process to identify priority networks for infrastructure improvements across all modes. A draft project evaluation framework has been developed based on the guiding principles which were approved by Council in December 2022 based on community consultation.
Phase 1 Consultation Report
Various communication and engagement activities were conducted as part of Phase 1 to build awareness of the study and invite people to share their experiences with mobility in London. The Phase 1 Consultation Report provides an overview of feedback collected about what the community cares about, uses, has challenges with and wants out of a future transportation and mobility system.
Vision and Guiding Principles
Londoners expressed strong support for transportation and mobility options that are environmentally sustainable, reliable and provide more convenient access to people, places, and services. Londoners have also expressed the importance of transportation being affordable and developing an MMP that furthers safety and comfort for all residents and users of the mobility system. These insights have helped shape our Vision and Guiding Principles for the Mobility Master Plan.
By 2050, Londoners of all identities, abilities, and means will have viable mobility options to allow them to move throughout the city safely and efficiently, as well as providing connectivity to the region. The movement of people and goods will be environmentally sustainable, affordable, and supportive of economic growth and development.
The Mobility Master Plan is being developed with the following Guiding Principles:
- Environmentally sustainable: Take bold action to address climate change and design and move in ways that protect and enhance the natural environment.
- Financially sustainable: Ensure mobility and its infrastructure is affordable for current and future generations.
- Equitable: Recognize diverse mobility needs and embed equity into decision making to enable everyone to move through the city.
- Healthy and safe: Promote and protect the physical, mental and social wellbeing of all and encourage active living.
- Integrated, connected and efficient: Strengthen community and the economy with better access to people, places, goods and services as London grows.
