Local Implementation Plans

Local Implementation Plans (LIPs) set out how each London borough will meet the objectives of the Mayor's Transport Strategy.

These conditions include creating more space on London's road for people to walk and cycle safely.

LIP Funding

LIP funding is the process through which we provide boroughs with financial support. The funding is for schemes to improve their transport networks in a way that is consistent with and supports the Mayor's Transport Strategy.

These schemes are detailed in each borough's LIP. A three-year outline programme is reviewed annually, and a detailed one-year programme is submitted for funding approval for the following financial year.

London's boroughs play a key role in the planning and delivery of schemes that transform local areas and meet the aims of the Mayor's Transport Strategy. In the last three years they have delivered thousands of improvements including:

  • Making public transport more accessible and reliable with 89 new accessible bus stops, more than 110 schemes to increase bus priority or accessibility and 7km new or improved bus lanes
  • Making walking and cycling safer through 50km of wider footways, 157km of new or upgraded cycling routes and 74 new pedestrian crossings
  • Access to cycling has also improved through nearly 110,000 new on- and off-street cycle parking spaces and training provided to 50,000 adults and just under 135,000 children
  • Around 500 School Streets have also been introduced, with almost 25 per cent of primary schools now having a School Street

Older LIP documents are on the LIPs page in Publications & reports.

Each borough's current LIP allocation is on their individual page in Your borough.

LIP Funding Allocation

Funding is intended to be allocated under six main programmes, subject to availability:

  • Corridors, neighbourhoods and supporting measures
  • Liveable Neighbourhoods
  • Cycle Network Development
  • Borough Bus Priority Programme
  • Principal road maintenance
  • Bridge strengthening

Corridors, neighbourhoods and supporting measures funding is allocated using a formula that was agreed with London Councils and the London Technical Advisory Group (LoTAG) in 2010.

Bids for Liveable Neighbourhoods, Cycle Network Development and Bus Priority funding on borough roads are made to TfL.

We assess all proposals in a rigorous manner to ensure schemes will deliver the benefits that are needed to achieve the outcomes of the Mayor's Transport Strategy and support London's recovery, such as more walking, cycling and use of public transport through more reliable journeys.

Funding for principal road maintenance and bridge strengthening is awarded to roads and bridges most in need of repair. Condition surveys are used to establish this need.

LIP Delivery Plans

Boroughs are completing their most recent delivery plan which runs from 2022/23 to 2024/25. New 3-year delivery plans are being developed. Draft guidance is available below.

Boroughs Portal

The Boroughs Portal is a web-based system that we, along with boroughs and partnerships, use to manage LIP and non-LIP funding that we provide.

The Portal is used to manage the allocation of funds, report on scheme progress, and to subsequently claim funds from TfL.
