LoTAG Background
The London Technical Advisers Group (LoTAG) maintains a technical network for local government professionals and co-opted members in the highway and transport fields. It provides a centre for professional advice and assistance for local policy development and service delivery on a London wide basis.
All the London local authorities and Transport for London are automatically members of LoTAG and are represented through the working groups, which meet on a regular basis, usually every 10 to 12 weeks. This enables officers from all these authorities to participate in all LoTAG activities. There are no membership forms to complete or subscriptions to pay, just turn up and take part.
LoTAG is the group of professional officers who advise the London Borough elected members on their statutory duties as the Highway and Traffic Authority.
