Long title
To confer further powers upon Transport for London; and for related purposes.
Summary
Transport matters in London are devolved to Transport for London (TfL) under the Greater London Authority Act 1999. The Bill provides TfL with further powers related to its responsibilities for road user charging, London cabs and private hire vehicles, fare enforcement, street management and other miscellaneous matters. In particular, it:
- increases TfL's powers to fine and remove vehicles that fail to pay any road charges within London
- implements a 'default' fare system for black cab journeys from London to a destination outside the boundary
- permits fixed penalty notices to be issued for specified black cab and minicab offences.
