TfL has included WRRR clauses in all new contracts with suppliers or contractors using commercial vehicles since 2012.
More than 600 contracts have also been amended to include the WRRR clauses – with impacts for drivers and commercial vehicle operators.
All drivers working on TfL's behalf are now checked regularly for driving licence infringements by DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). They must also be trained in approved courses such as Safe Urban Driving
Meanwhile, all freight operators must meet best practice standards, such as accreditation through FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme).
The FORS standard ensures that all vehicles have proximity warning systems and blindspot mirrors and that driver training schemes are in place.
TfL and Crossrail's mandatory t's and c's are behind the CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety) standard for construction logistics – Managing work-related road risk.
TfL is encouraging other organisations to use their buying power to improve road safety for all road users.
