Do you know any sixth formers or other young people who might be interested in shaping the future of London’s transport? Transport for London (TfL) is currently recruiting members for its youth panel, with a closing date of Monday 11 February. The TfL youth panel consists of around 25 volunteers aged 16 to 25, who regularly travel in London. They play an important role in helping to create a transport network across London that works for young people.
The youth panel has been around since 2009 and members have helped shape the Mayor of London’s transport strategy, road safety campaigns, and Year of Engineering, among many other initiatives. They also formally submit consultation responses, representing the voice of young Londoners, and take part in some TfL campaigns.
TfL recruits at the beginning of each year and hold elections for executive committee roles in April.
