Transport for London (TfL) has announced that London’s Transport Commissioner, Mike Brown, will be leaving the organisation to take up the role of Chair of the Delivery Authority for the restoration and renewal of the Houses of Parliament.
Mike became Transport Commissioner in July 2015 and has led TfL’s delivery of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and multi-billion-pound transport investment programme.
He has transformed the efficiency of the organisation and overseen a step-change in TfL’s focus on tackling safety on London’s roads, improving London’s air quality and encouraging a shift to public transport, cycling and walking.
Mike, who will continue in his role for the remainder of Sadiq Khan’s current term as Mayor, says:
“Every day, thousands of unsung women and men go to work to keep London moving and to make this city better, cleaner and safer for everyone. I am inspired by them and I will miss them, but it’s the right time for me to move on to a new challenge after more than 30 years in the transport industry and what will have been nearly five years as Commissioner.”
