Sustainable Transport • Contractors must produce a Sustainable Transport Plan, prioritising the use of rail & water (where practicable) • Contractors must comply with Crossrail’s sustainability measures • Minimise part loads, maximise consolidation • Support the principles of the London Freight Plan

Sustainable Transport Hierarchy

Lorry Routes

Lorry Route Signage

Vehicle Identification Contractor must ensure that all hauliers are given and display the agreed Crossrail identifying sign in the cabs of all their vehicles.

• Traffic Co-ordination Centre (TCC) central London To co-ordinate Crossrail traffic across contracts • To manage deliveries via the Vehicle Movement Booking System (VMBS) • Communication with external parties such as Police, Tf. L, local authorities etc, to obtain information on factors which could affect vehicle movements

Traffic Co-ordination

Vehicle Movement Booking System • Centralised system used by Contractors and the TCC • Used to book future vehicle movements for each worksite • Identify individual vehicles and track compliance with required vehicle standards; • Monitor and report actual vehicle movements

Lorry Holding Areas • Regulates flow of traffic to site • Vehicle safety checking point • Reduces the risk of congestion • Prevents vehicles circulating locally

Lorry Driver Training (LDT) • A programme designed to train frequent drivers engaged on the project • 1 day course, focussing on sharing the road with vulnerable users (e. g. cyclists); and fuel efficiency (reducing emissions) • To date approximately 700 drivers have been trained • Help lorry drivers understand how they can contribute to reducing the threat of terrorism in London • Enable Crossrail to demonstrate best practice in construction road safety

LDT - Scope – Entire Supply Chain Frequent Drivers > 5 round trips to a Crossrail Worksite In a 12 month period Infrequent Drivers < 5 round trips to a Crossrail Worksite In a 12 month period Driver Induction Training Driver Induction Pack Contractor Forecast • 12 month • 6 month • 1 period • 2 week Contractor Forecast • 2 periods in advance

LDT - Course Benefits • Drivers complete a unique ‘Crossrail Centric’ driver training course to become a safer driver. • The course accumulates ‘Driver CPC’ periodic training of 7 hours. • Employers save on costs associated with 7 hours D CPC • Drivers gain a greater understanding of the safety issues related to sharing London’s roads with vulnerable road users. • Drivers gain an understanding of how they can ‘Contribute to reducing the Threat of Terrorism’. • Drivers gain a ‘Crossrail Induction Trained Driver’ certificate and ID Tag. • Provides CRL with a clear audit trail and the ability to demonstrate • that the requirements behind Undertaking 577 are being met.
