The ADL H128 is balanced in a completely audiophile way. Rich tonal colours and textures with intimate and close harmonic interplay, a sense of space and quiet backgrounds are the key.
With these our latest breakthrough headphones we decided to take the performance of our now classic H118 headphones one step further. We wanted to retain the H118's smooth, well-balanced sound that has captivated so many headphone enthusiasts, but we also wanted to improve dynamics and recreate the same "punch" that you hear during live performances—a lofty goal for a pair of headphones. With the new H128, we've succeeded at reaching that goal. At ADL we determined that the best way to accomplish this was to design and develop a completely new driver from scratch with the help of our engineers at Furutech and sound tune the headphones with input from a team of renowned Japanese audio commentators.

The T 1 stands for top sound quality and precise workmanship like no other headphones from Beyerdynamic. It is the flagship of Beyerdynamic's premium range for the home and its unique Tesla technology sets new standards. The T 1 plays crystal clear, excels with faultless impulse fidelity and long-range, power sound quality. Its frequency range is extraordinarily harmonically tuned; its reproduction is spatially transparent and offers enjoyment of music for the most demanding of listeners..
The second generation of this high-end model impresses thanks to a new, even further enhanced tuning with a touch more warmth and musicality that will delight audiophile listeners. Moreover, a carefully intensified bass gives fans of contemporary music, in particular, the low-frequency foundation that they are looking for.
Tesla technology uses innovative sound transducers with over 1.0 Tesla (unit of measure for the magnetic flux density). The headphones therefore permit practically twice the volume of conventional models. Thanks to the enhanced efficiency the electric signal is converted into sound vibrations with virtually no loss of performance. The T 1 therefore offers greater performance reserves for dynamic and authentic musical fireworks.
The new edition of the T 1 with textile-covered connection cable and screwable jack plug provides for optimum sound transmission. Its conductors, made from ultra-pure OCC copper, are among the best the industry has to offer. It can be removed from the headphones and, if required, exchanged for an optional cable with 4-pin XLR connector. This enables users with a headphone amplifier with the right outputs to take advantage of 'symmetrical transmission'.
The elegant appearance of the T 1 rounds off the technical fine details with the individually selected construction right down to the tiniest detail. The open earcups covered with a delicate metallic grill and subtle colour shades round off the premium appeal of this headphone model. The T 1 received the international design prize "Red Dot design award" for this in 2010.Soft, velour ear cushions made from hollow fibre are further hallmarks of the new generation of the T 1. They transport warmth and moisture away from the head, enabling the listener to enjoy music for hours without any unpleasant build-up of heat. A memory foam layer beneath the velour cover makes the ear cushions exceptionally soft.When not in use, the headphones can be stored in a luxurious hard case with a hinged lid. Not only is this ideal for transporting the headphones, but also perfect for displaying the classic piece next to your hi-fi system at home.You will enjoy the T 1 most impressively with the A 2 headphone amplifier from beyerdynamic – the "dream team" for true music lovers.

Lead Nurturing: The New Tech Marketing Frontier
Posted by Andre Pino on February 1, 2011
- 778 Recommendations
- 8 comments
For years, tech marketers have been maniacally focused on generating new leads to feed the pipeline needs of their sales counterparts. Unfortunately, only a very small percentage of those new leads, like 5%, were ready to engage with sales, leading to much frustration and angst between marketing and sales.
So what happened to the 95% of those leads that weren't sales ready? Usually, not much! An email or two every so often does not constitute a lead nurturing program that will deliver results. However, it appears that the wind of change is upon us in tech marketing. In a recent marketing investments survey that we conducted, we found that tech marketers are increasing their budget allocation for lead nurturing by 11%, and that is significant.
So how do you start to build a lead nurturing program that will deliver results? Here are three elements:
Definition: First, we need a definition for lead nurturing. I like this simple definition: Lead nurturing is a process by which leads are tracked and developed into sales-qualified leads. Meaning that they are ready and worthy of a salesperson's time. Of course, it is critical that you jointly establish the definition of a sales-ready lead with the sales team.
Objective: Our objective is to lead our prospects on an educational journey that moves them down the qualification path and results in a prospect that is highly qualified and ready to enter the sales process.
Approach: Developing a lead nurturing strategy does not need to be a daunting task. A simple approach is best, one that is focused and meaningful to your buyers.
- Focus on the prospect: The key to a successful lead nurturing program is to make the on-going communications with your prospects as relevant to them as possible. This is your opportunity to segment your prospect database and focus your messages on what matters most to them, hitting their specific hot buttons by industry, geography, role, etc. Remember, the more hard-hitting and relevant to their issues and pain points your message is, the more likely they will be to take notice, absorb the message, and respond.
- Message consistency: Be consistent in your messaging. Shifting messages will only cause confusion, reduce message reinforcement, and create a poor perception of your company. As you create multiple educational vehicles, like white papers, case studies, videos, and webinars, be sure that the message is consistent. Leverage every communication.
- Content: The key to lead nurturing success is in great content. It has to be educational in nature, promote thought leadership, and go deep. Great content gets responses and gets you invited into deeper conversations with prospects. Content development should be approached from the reader's perspective.
- Process: The first step in building a lead nurturing process is to have a clear understanding of the buyer's buying cycle. This is critical. You need to be able to map out your typical buyer's buying cycle. It is the basis of any good nurturing campaign, since you will building your nurturing campaign content and messages on each step of the buying cycle. One of the best sources of information about your buyers' buying cycle is sales or inside sales. These are the folks who have led prospects through the educational process in the past. Learn from them and build the nurturing process with them.
The process of building an effective lead nurturing program is not as overwhelming as it seems. It just requires giving careful thought and consideration to the elements above.
How is your lead nurturing program working? What have you found to be effective in nurturing leads?

Educational Content is key
Comment from Roni Bennett (not verified) on Tue, 02/01/2011 - 17:48
What I find to be the biggest obstacle is creating enough relevant and educational content for a multi-touch lead nurturing campaign. I've seen very few companies do lead nurturing well or at all. Most don't want to put in the work and think their sales brochures or sales whitepapers are good enough.
Educational Content
Comment from Andre Pino on Wed, 02/02/2011 - 09:34
Roni I couldn't agree with you more. This is eactly what I meant in my post about the content has to "go deep." Marketing has to reach out to its experts with the intellectual capital to create the content needed to go deep into the subject and deliver a real educational experience. In most cases that content is not going to be generated out of the marketing org.
Relevant, personal, and in the buying cycle
Comment from Amy Millard on Wed, 02/02/2011 - 01:49
In our own lead nurturing programs, we are pretty focused on understanding not just what the buying process is (where in the cycle are you?), but also understanding what segment of prospect you are (which of our defined segments do you fit into, if any?), as well as what your behavior has been
The key is defining relevant content along these axes. And to remember the eventual goal is a successful customer - not just a lead. My personal opinion is that some bad lead nurturing programs have the wrong metrics - they're focused on considering the job finished far too early in the sales process.
Relevant, personal and in the buying cycle
Comment from Andre Pino on Wed, 02/02/2011 - 09:37
Ami you are right on! What a great opportunity lead nurturing programs offer to get focused like a laser on the needs by segment. However, the content has to be focused as well. And therein will lie the problem for most organizations.
Sales WhitePapers are NOT good enough
Comment from Mark McClure (not verified) on Sat, 02/05/2011 - 05:09
Roni's comment on sales whitepapers is where marketers may be losing 80% or more of that "not ready" 95%.
Do prospects really read whitepapers peppered with vendor product names and implied sales pitches? Why would they - they're nowhere near buying yet...
The b2b white paper that takes the high ground on a tech issue and explains solutions and benefits from the perspective of an interested prospect seem to be mighty thin on the ground.
Many so-called b2b technology white papers are basically extended sales brochures. It doesn't have to be that way.
Lead nurturing is NOT the new
Comment from Amrita Mathur (not verified) on Sun, 02/06/2011 - 22:19
Lead nurturing is NOT the new frontier. Companies (tech and otherwise) have been doing this for years, infact ever since 'marketing automation' was popularized.
At my previous place of work we developed 3 or 4 standard nurture programs based on how we classified leads or prospects. When a lead with profile #1 did not close, we'd put them in nurture program #1. When a lead with profile #2 closed but after a few years they ceased being a customer we put them in nurture program #2 (b) i.e. with a slight variation. We also often combined nurture programs with cross-sell programs. All this becomes very easy once you know and fully define your ideal customer for each product. As well as undersstand fully what is takes to convert a lead to an opportunity.
Lead nurturing - are you staffed to do it?
Comment from Kevin Coe (not verified) on Tue, 02/08/2011 - 09:55
We've always found the biggest challenges to be about logistics and discipline. This is an important topic, and under-appreciated by many. But what we often see as an outsource provider (http://www.market-effect.com) is that getting to the payoff is hard for companies. Either they:
Don't think about the need to nurture leads
Aren't sure what the right process is to nurture them, or
Just as often if not more so, do not have the staff / discipline to do it
So I think one of the first lead nurturing (or as we've always called it, lead management) things to figure out is whether you can really do it consistently with internal resources.
Absolutely agree - we changed
Comment from Wendy Williams (not verified) on Thu, 02/10/2011 - 17:01
Absolutely agree - we changed our processes about 2 years ago - to map almost identically with this strategy - and to also keep the Sales Reps away from the noise - only presenting the Sales Ready Leads to them - which seems to be working well - there is always room for improvement - great blog post - thx!

McCrory says he backs wind farms off coast
RALEIGH - Governor Pat McCrory is telling the Obama administration that he supports plans that could one day see wind turbine towers poking out of the Atlantic Ocean miles off the North Carolina coast.
McCrory expressed his support for wind power in a letter this week to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which is gauging commercial interest in wind farms off North Carolina's northern Outer Banks and Cape Fear. The three ocean blocks that may be leased for wind farms were selected because they're gusty spots that don't interfere with military operations, shipping and fishing.
McCrory has expressed his support for underground hydraulic fracturing to unleash natural gas and offshore drilling to tap gas and oil. He says he also backs wind power because he believes in an "all-of-the-above" energy plan.

st: Mixed model: fixed intercept and random-coefficient
Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:38:05 +0100
Dear all,
I want to fit a random-coefficient/slope model with a binary outcome
(logit) for a meta-analysis. We tried to use xtmelogit. However,
xtmelogit seems to automatically assume a random intercept whereas we
want the intercept to be a fixed effect. Does anybody know whether it is
possible to use xtmelogit/poisson with a random-coefficient only and if
yes, how this is specified (we were not able to find anything on the
web/statalist archive)?
We also tried two different approaches in GLLAMM which gave quite
different results. The first approach is shown below:
Approach based on gllamm manual (example 9.5):
gen cons=1

However, this approach also includes a random intercept. Does anybody
know whether it is possible to specify a fixed-intercept and

right because it gave implausible results)?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Each trail planner contains details of travel, overnight stops, points of interest, suggested routes, relative distances and the services we can provide.
The Cotswold Way, is a 103 mile Long Distance Path from Chipping Campden to the Roman city of Bath, it is claimed to be the best way marked trail in England.
This trail will appeal to those who want a very gentle introduction to walking in the English countryside; the Cotswolds are hilly rather than mountainous - the highest point being little more than 1000 feet above sea level. Officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Cotswold landscape is an entrancing mixture of parkland, cultivated fields with dry-stone walls of Jurassic limestone, and patches of unspoiled woodland; stone-built also are almost all the cottages, farmhouses, villages, and small towns that our route passes. The way is also a walk through English history, passing prehistoric hill forts, and ancient burial barrows, Saxon and Civil War battle sites, as well as fine stately homes.
The Cotswolds became wealthy during the 17th Century, due to the wool trade, the fine stone houses and churches are a symbol of that era. The industrial revolution seemed to bypass the region, and the Cotswolds today is still a very affluent part of Britain.
Stage 2: Winchcombe to Dowdesweil 22 km (13.7 miles), 540m (1770 feet) of
Stage 3: Dowdeswell to Painswick 30 km (18.6 miles), 550m (1800 feet) of
Stage 4: Painswick to Uley 23 km (14.3 miles), 590m (1930 feet)
Stage 5: Uley to Wotton under edge 15 Km (9.3 miles), 430 m (1415 feet) ascent.
Stage 6: Wotton under Edge to Tormarton 23 km (14.3 miles), 570 m (1865 feet)
Stage 7: Tormarton to Bath 26 km (16.2 miles), 410 m (1345 feet)
Departing at the end of the walk: Bath is one of the most popular tourist towns in the whole of Britain and thus has excellent connections both by coach and rail to all the main centres of the country.
Most Convenient International airport:
Heathrow. There are direct connections via the coach station at Heathrow all the way to Bath, Cheltenham and Oxford. Cardiff and Bristol airports are also useful.

Georgia Postgame Notes: 2012 Outback Bowl
Jan. 2, 2012
Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Overtime: With today's 33-30 loss to #12 Michigan State in 3 OTs, #18 Georgia (10-4) is now 4-4 in overtime games including 2-1 in bowl games and 1-1 in the Outback Bowl. Also, Mark Richt is 2-2 in OT. Georgia stopped MSU's first drive with an interception by All-American Bacarri Rambo, his eighth on the year and then missed a field goal to send it to a second OT. Eventually, senior Blair Walsh had a 47-yarder blocked in the third overtime by Anthony White that ended the contest. Georgia is now 26-18-3 in bowl games including 7-4 under Richt. They are 2-1 in all-time meetings with the Spartans.
Boykin's Bulldog Bowl Records: Senior Brandon Boykin raced 92 yards for his first career punt return TD (He has four career KOR TDs), a Bulldog bowl record and Outback Bowl mark. Also, the 92-yarder ties for second in Georgia history for a punt return TD, matching Prince Miller against Alabama in 2008. The previous bowl mark for a punt return was a 68-yard TD by Charley Trippi in the 1945 Oil Bowl. Boykin made the tackle on the Bulldog safety for Georgia's first points. Today marked Boykin's second TD in a bowl game as he had a 81-yard kickoff return for a TD against Texas A&M in the 2009 Independence Bowl victory. Boykin caught the go-ahead TD, a 13-yard to put Georgia up 25-20 with 6:44 left. It was his second TD receiving this year, he had a 42-yarder vs. New Mexico State. He had four KOR for 70 yards plus two rushes for nine yards.
Walsh Sets SEC/UGA Scoring Record: With eight points today, senior Blair Walsh set the SEC and Georgia record for most career point with 412, breaking the mark of Georgia's Billy Bennett (2000-03). This tally ranks second in NCAA history. He set the mark with a 47-yarder in the 2nd overtime for a 30-27 lead. He missed a 42-yarder that would've won it in the 1st OT.
Defense Pitches First Half Shutout: For the first time since game three/Coastal Carolina on Sept. 17, the Bulldog defense blanked its opponent in the first half, building a 16-0 advantage. MSU had just two first downs with 72 yards on 26 plays; heading to the fourth quarter they had six first downs with 154 yards on 42 plays. Also in bowl history, it was the first time since the 1998 Outback Bowl when Georgia posted a first-half shutout, leading Wisconsin 19-0 en route to a 33-6 victory.
Safety For A 2-0 Edge: For the first time since the Vanderbilt game in 2010, Georgia registered a safety. Senior Brandon Boykin tackled Keshawn Martin in the endzone on MSU's first play from scrimmage. It was set up after senior Drew Butler booted a 51-yard punt and was downed by sophomore Blake Sailors at the 3 yard line.
Murray-King Combo Nets Record: Sophomore QB Aaron Murray (20-for-30, 287 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT overall) and junior Tavarres King (6 rec., school and bowl record 205 yards, 1 TD) combined for a big game including an 80-yard touchdown completion in the first half. Murray completed his first 10 passes for 97 yards before his first incompletion in the 2nd quarter. Also, he had a 60-yarder to King who had a career-high 146 yards receiving. Also of note, the 80-yard TD was a Georgia bowl record, the previous mark was a 67-yarder in the 1947 Sugar Bowl from Charley Trippi to Dan Edwards. King and Murray hooked up for a 53-yarder on the go-ahead TD drive to give him a school record and bowl record 205 receiving yards (the previous mark in a game was 201 by Fred Gibson vs. Kentucky in 2001 and 156 in a bowl by Larry Bowie, 1995 Peach Bowl).
For Starters: Senior OT Cordy Glenn made his 50th career start (47th consecutive), tying the school mark for most by a lineman (Clint Boling had 50 from 2007-10) and second overall by any player. Redshirt freshman Ken Malcome made his second career start at tailback (first came vs. Ga. Tech this year). Junior Christian Robinson made the starter at ILB for Michael Gilliard who had started the past 11 games. Sophomore Garrison Smith started at DE for the second straight game for the injured DeAngelo Tyson. While he didn't start, junior RB Richard Samuel returned for the first time since the win over Florida Oct. 29.
Points Off Turnovers: MSU got 14 points off three turnovers while Georgia got 3 points off three INTs. They did not score off a fumble by QB Aaron Murray in the 2nd quarter. In the third quarter, MSU got a Murray interception, and it led to a TD and two-point conversion that covered 48 yards on nine plays. Then in the third quarter, Murray was picked again on a tipped pass, resulting in a 38-yard INT return for a TD by Darqueze Dennard. That made it 16-14 as the two-point conversion failed. Georgia's Shawn Wiliams picked off Kirk Cousins and ran it back 45 yards to the MSU 12, and it led to a 32-yard FG. It was Williams fourth INT on the year. Junior N John Jenkins got an INT on a tipped pass by Alec Ogletree to thwart an MSU scoring drive with 3:56 left in the contest. It led to a punt. Junior safety Bacarri Rambo got a pick in overtime and it led to a missed FG.

NEW YORK, Friday—I have been having the pleasure recently of meeting a number of the women whom I met while I was in Japan.
One charming young woman attended the Summer Institute at Harvard. Now, she is taking a year's leave from her work in Japan and is going to Bryn Mawr College to study human relationships, particularly those between men and women.
You may smile at this idea but, if you lived in Japan, it would not be a matter for amusement. The pattern of Japanese life is changing, and women who were merely immured in their husband's homes, ran the household, bore the children and took care of them until they were old enough to be taken over by the men, are now realising that they may be factors—in different ways—for good in the life of the country.
In the farming areas the women always did a large amount of the work in the fields, in addition to household tasks, but they were not treated as equals by the men. Of late, on the social and economic level, women are changing their positions, and this changes the relationship between men and women. For this reason, it is intelligent to come to a country where relationships are more or less stabilized, in a modern way, to make this study.
Madame Sumiko Tanaka is young and full of charm. She wears her native costume most of the time, but she would look appropriately dressed in Western costume too. She is intelligent, with a remarkable command of the English language, and I feel sure she will not only benefit by her time here, but will do much for the relationship between Japan and the United States if she is able to meet a great many people while she is here.
I took Miss Tanaka, with two other friends, to see Shirley Booth in "By the Beautiful Sea." This play gives you a pleasant evening. The book and the music are agreeable, and Shirley Booth is excellent, but it is one of those plays in which Americans make fun of themselves in the past, and the picture of Coney Island is not exactly accurate. Miss Tanaka enjoyed herself and was amused. However, when I heard her murmur: "Now I know what Coney Island is like," I thought I had better tell her quickly that this is a picture of the past and a rather exaggerated and grotesque one, even for the past!
One of the things we Americans should understand is the fact that, both in our theatre and in our movies, we know when we are making fun of ourselves. But when plays and movies are taken to other areas of the world the acceptance of them is a bit too literal. They are taken, almost always, to be factual, honest representations of life as it is lived in America. That is not conducive to a better understanding between us and the world community.

December 6, 2013,
Jane Pratt - Fitzpatrick
She began he r career at age 1 7 , becoming department supervisor of an Army Navy supply depot in Hartford, Conn. She and her husband Jack Fitzpatrick founded Country Curtains as a mail order business in 1956, "literally from their dining room table in the town of Whitman, Mass.," according to the company. The following year, the couple and their daughters moved to Stockbridge.
In late 1968, they purchased the Red Lion Inn, saving it from demolition and making it the new home of Country Curtains.

She was awarded four honorary doctorates, from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, North Adams State College (Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts), American International College and Westfield State College. She also served on the Massachusetts Cultural Council and was the recipient of its first Commonwealth Award in 1993, honoring her as a patron of the arts and humanities. From 1998 to 2001, she was recognized in Working Woman magazine as ceo and chair of one of the top 500 women owned companies in the U.S.
At the time of her death, she was the chairman of Country Curtains, which operates catalogs, a website and 26 retail stores.
Fitzpatrick is survived by a sister, Mary Ann Snyder of Largo, Fla., and two daughters, Nancy Jane Fitzpatrick and her husband Lincoln Russell and Ann Fitzpatrick Brown of Stockbridge. She is also survived by two grandsons, Casey Meade Rothstein-Fitzpatrick and Alexander John Fitzpatrick Brown, three step-grandchildren, and 14 nieces and nephews and their families.

|Peter Chiarelli finds Alain Vigneault's threatening comments about Brad Marchand 'real unprofessional'
|01.09.12 at 12:48 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli held an impromptu session with reporters Monday at TD Garden to express his feelings on Canucks coach Alain Vigneault's comments Sunday about B's forward Brad Marchand. The 23-year-old forward was given a game misconduct for his low-bridge hit on Vancouver defenseman Sami Salo.
"Marchand – and this is just my feeling – but some day he's going to get it," Vigneault told reporters Sunday. "Some day, someone's going to say 'enough is enough' and they're going to hurt the kid because he plays to hurt players. And if the league doesn't care, somebody else will."
Chiarelli said he found Vigneault's comments to be threatening.
"I think we've learned our lesson over time that that's a real inappropriate comment," he said. "That's a real inappropriate comment, and it's an unprofessional comment."
Former Canucks winger Brad May infamously said Avalanche forward Steve Moore had a "bounty" on his head following Moore's blindside hit on Markus Naslund in 2004. Later that season, teammate Todd Bertuzzi ended Moore's career with his vicious punch to the back of Moore's head.
Canucks GM Mike Gillis also called Marchand a "dirty player." Chiarelli took issue with all the comments to emerge from Vancouver, noting that Canucks defenseman Keith Ballard is "notorious" for such hits.
"Brad does play on the edge, but he's no dirtier than maybe two or three of their players," Chiarelli said. "I think in general, after a game like that you see all the high-handed propaganda. I just feel the need to respond. Whether it's from coaches, GMs or players, I don't like to hear that kind of stuff."
On the subject of Ballard, Chiarelli referenced multiple low-bridge hits committed by the defenseman.
"With respect to some of the comments made from a player regarding what's a hip check and what's clipping and all that stuff, I think that's naive, too. What's makes a difference if you have the puck or if you don't on a hip check? What's the difference? To say that there's a distinction, there's not. It's like a reverse check," Chiarelli said. "And that player actually, he's notorious for that stuff, with or without the puck."

The Mayor's Transport Strategy sets out our transport vision for London. Published in 2010, it details how Transport for London and partners will deliver the plan over the next 20 years.
The Mayor's Transport Strategy
- The goals of the strategy
- Support economic development and population growth
- Enhance the quality of life for all Londoners
- Improve the safety and security of all Londoners
- Improve transport opportunities for all Londoners
- Tackling deprivation and supporting growth
- Reduce contribution to climate change and improve resilience
The goals of the strategy
The strategy has a clear vision for London's transport system. It should:
- Surpass those of global cities
- Provide access to opportunities for all its people and enterprises
- Achieve the highest environmental standards
- Lead the world in its approach to tackling the urban transport challenges of the 21st century
The strategy has six key goals...
Support economic development and population growth
Our city is growing fast. London needs a transport system that connects people to jobs and allows people, goods and services to move easily within and through the capital. Around 3.1 million more people – and over 1.4 million more jobs – are expected to live in Greater London by 2050. This will lead to millions more trips each day.
Our plans to meet the transportation needs of this increased population include:
- Upgrading the Tube to allow more trains to run through the central parts of the city
- Unprecedented investment plan to modernise the road network
- Better river and rail services, including Crossrail, Thameslink, and improvements to the DLR
Enhance the quality of life for all Londoners
Transport has a bearing on all of our health and wellbeing. This can be directly, through road collisions and air pollutants, but also indirectly, through stress and physical activity. We're working to make travel in the capital simpler and more pleasant.
New trains, stations and buses mean a cleaner and less crowded journey for passengers. We're also introducing more journey planning information to make getting from A to B easier for all.
We're designing and redesigning public spaces to encourage more Londoners to walk and cycle. Our efforts in keeping the city's streets cleaner means we are all benefitting from less clutter, and a better balance for road users.
The Low Emission Zone, which deters high polluting vehicles, is helping to improve air quality. The Mayor recently set out proposals for a central London Ultra Low Emission Zone from 2020.
Improve the safety and security of all Londoners
We want to make sure people feel safe when cycling, walking, driving or using public transport.
Despite low crime levels on public transport, fear of crime and antisocial behaviour remain barriers to travel for some people. The Mayor is reducing the rate of crime and the fear of crime on our transport network through better policing. We are focusing on times and places when people feel particularly vulnerable, for example, at night.
The Mayor has also set out plans to improve road safety. Read more about the Road Safety Force.
Improve transport opportunities for all Londoners
We are working to make sure our transport system is accessible and easy to use for everyone.
Hundreds of millions of pounds has been invested over the last few years to ensure that London has the most accessible transport network in the country and one of the most accessible transport networks anywhere in the world. Read more about accessible transport in London.
Tackling deprivation and supporting growth
Some of London's most deprived areas have poor transport links. Extended lines and new stations will connect some of London's more isolated areas, particularly in the east of the city.
The London Plan - the Mayor's spatial development strategy – identifies areas that have a greater need for investment as London continues to grow. Transport planning will be at the heart of new developments to make sure that new housing and employment is supported by reliable public transport. Read more about transport investment in growth areas.
Reduce contribution to climate change and improve resilience
We aim to reduce London's CO2 emissions by 60% by 2025. Cleaning up our transport system is a major part of this effort. Measures include:
- Encouraging walking and cycling as a green way to travel
- Speeding up the introduction of low carbon road vehicles, including electric vehicles and the next generation of buses
- Introducing regenerative braking as part of tube improvements, saving up to 25% of electricity used
- Tightening the standards of the Low Emission Zone and introducing an Ultra Low Emission Zone
