TfL Ref: 2523-1920

Thank you for your email received by us on 19 November 2019 asking for information about road accident casualties in 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked for:

the number of road accident casualties between 01/01/2019 - present. Can this be sub-divided into; total, pedestrian, cyclist and motorcyclist casualties. And, fatal, serious and slight casualties.

We are committed to do everything in our power to make London’s streets safer. In line with Vision Zero, our goal is to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries from
London’s streets in the long-term. Under a Vision Zero approach we will focus on reducing the dominance of motor vehicles on our streets and we will ensure that road danger reduction is central to all transport-related activity. Please see the following link to our website for further information:

The information you asked for from January to June 2019 is available on our website using the following link to page 30 of the Safety, Sustainability and Human Resources Panel (SSHRP) Agenda meeting quarterly report at: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/sshrp-13-november-2019-agenda-and-papers-web-version.pdf therefore in accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

As some of the information you are seeking for 2019 will be published in July 2020, in this instance an exemption has been applied to the remainder of your request as it is intended for future publication, namely s22 of the FOI Act. The information is currently still being collated, which will then require additional review to ensure its validity and accuracy. The information is scheduled to be published in summer 2020.
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. TfL recognises the need for openness and transparency by public authorities and the particular public interest in disclosure of this information, However in this instance, it is considered that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
