Rejected petition Free TfL travel for London Ambulance Service personnel
The LAS struggles to recruit staff because of the high cost of living in London, which is exacerbated by travel costs. Considering the health benefit of having ambo personnel on the transport network, would you consider giving parity with the Met Police & agree to grant free travel to LAS staff?
More details
Metropolitan Police personnel have free travel access across the London transport network, as TfL believes that it provides an additional security measure on the transport network.
