This London 2030 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) study began in the fall of 2009 with the mandate of updating the 2004 TMP. Following the 2004 study, the London Transit Commission (LTC) completed a Transit Ridership Growth Strategy in 2006 which recommended implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) strategy to achieve the mode share targets of the 2004 TMP. The City of London (the City) also completed their first Bicycle Master Plan in 2007, which contained a number of recommendations to enhance cycling facilities throughout the City.
The primary scope of this TMP update was to build upon the recommendations from these recent studies, incorporate the most recent strategic planning objectives of City Council and assess the viability of implementing a rapid transit system for the City.
