2012 transport arrangements
During the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games visitors to London are expected to increase by 325,000 each day. Ensuring that spectators, officials and athletes get to the various venues quickly and comfortably, and that there is sufficient capacity available on the public transport network, will be crucial to the event’s success.
Transport for the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be delivered through a partnership between LOCOG, the ODA and a number of transport authorities and operators. The five key Games transport objectives are:
- Provide safe, secure, inclusive, fast and reliable transport for the Games Family client groups
- Provide frequent, reliable, friendly, inclusive, accessible, environmentally friendly and simple transport for spectators and visitors from all around the UK and overseas
- Leave a positive legacy and to facilitate the regeneration of east London
- Keep London and the rest of the UK moving during the Games
- Achieve maximum value for money for every pound spent on transport
The second edition of the London 2012 Transport Plan was published in 2009. The Plan details how LOCOG, the ODA and their transport delivery partners intend to meet the transport challenges presented by the Games and deliver on their promise to not only keep London moving during the summer of 2012 but minimise potential disruption to business.
