Transport For London
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
Part of the Greater London Authority (GLA) family of organisations led by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, we are the integrated transport authority responsible for delivering the Mayors strategy and commitments on transport. Our operational responsibilities include London Underground, London Buses, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground, TfL Rail, London Trams, London River Services, London Dial-a-Ride, Victoria Coach Station, Santander Cycles and Emirates Air Line.
We are delivering one of the worlds largest programmes of transport capital investment, which is building the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail), modernising Tube services and stations and transforming the road network to make it safer. We work hard to make journeys easier through effective use of technology and data to cope with future growth within the capital.
TfL is an equal opportunities employer promoting and valuing people through fairness and inclusion. We provide a world-class transport network and we want to be an employer of choice for Londoners. We aim to have a workforce that is as diverse as the city we serve, led by inclusive leaders. We would also like our people managers to be highly trained and effective, to manage people positively and confidently, and our staff to feel engaged, supported and included within the workplace.
We know that our workforce does not currently reflect the diversity of the Capitals population. Fifty-one per cent of the population of London are women and 45 per cent of economically active Londoners are women whereas just fewer than 24 per cent of our workforce are women. TfL pledges to address this imbalance by encouraging future female engineers into the industry and taking part in the Big Rail Diversity Challenge will be a huge boost.
