Thank you for your request received by us on 26 June 2019 asking for information about an environmental impact assessment of the capital’s Car-Free Day on 22 September 2019.
 
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy.  You asked for:
 
The environmental impact assessment of the car-free day on September 22nd in 18 London

An Environmental Impact Assessment is not required for the delivery of the Car Free Day event in central London and Transport for London (TfL) have not produced an Environmental Impact Assessment.
 
However, environmental impact is part of the event planning process. TfL’s supplier for the central London event is required to operate in line with the GLA Group Responsible Procurement Policy and GLA Event Sustainability Policy.
 
The priority areas identified within the Event Sustainability Policy include the following:
 
·       To use energy efficiently and reduce carbon emissions from energy consumption generated by events
 
·       To reduce the amount of event waste
 
·       To reduce the environmental impact of transport use
 
·       To support and promote the GLA Food Commitment
 
·       To promote and encourage diversity and inclusion
 
·       To respect and preserve our national heritage
 
·       To encourage the living wage
 
The Mayor and TfL are not responsible for the delivery of Car Free Day events in the 18 London boroughs. If you would like to contact the London boroughs directly, their website details can be found via the following link: https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/boroughs/information-by-borough?intcmp=17175
