Description:

Transport for London (TfL) is Greater London's local government body responsible for regional transportation. In 2011, TfL implemented a seven-hour Safe Urban Driving (SUD) course for truck drivers to improve truck operation safety in urban areas within the region. This training is comprised of a classroom module and a practical, on-bicycle module. To create demand for this training, TfL incorporated driver training requirements into two national voluntary certification programs for fleet safety. TfL and major infrastructure projects also require drivers of contracted fleets and drivers servicing city-permitted construction projects to complete SUD training. TfL considers SUD training one of its most successful freight safety initiatives, with about 50,000 truck drivers (nearly 20 percent of all truck drivers in the United Kingdom UK) trained as of September 2017.
