This short inquiry covers the impact of 'Games Lanes' and the 'Olympic Route Network' (ORN) on the road network; measures being taken to manage increased travel demand during the Games especially on public transport and including aviation; the effects of travel disruption for businesses and services; and the delivery of a valuable transport legacy following the Games.
