What is tfl?
Transport for London (TfL) is a statutory corporation established by section 154 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It is a functional body of the Greater London Authority which reports to the Mayor of London. It is the integrated body responsible for the capital's transport system. Its role is to implement the Mayor's Transport Strategy for London and manage the transport services across the capital for which the Mayor has responsibility. TfL is accountable for both the planning and delivery of transport facilities, which enables it to take a truly integrated approach to how people, goods and services move around London. TfL is directed by a management board whose Members are chosen for their understanding of transport matters and appointed by Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, who chairs the TfL Board.
