What's worse, a hundred polluting vehicles entering the zone once a year each, or a single polluting vehicle entering every day? Obviously the latter. Changing it to "reducing the number of polluting *trips*" encompasses both ideas, but still shows that its the regular commuters/deliveries rather than people visiting Auntie Flo on her birthday who need to be discouraged. Something that might help somewhat, and would be virtually free to implement,would be to make the congestion charge apply 24/7 rather than just on weekdays. The ULEZ will indeed operate 24/7, but the charge will be in addition to the congestion charge: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/ulez-where-and-when?intcmp=54312 There will be a 'sunset' period for some existing vehicles, giving their owners time to replace them: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/discounts-and-exemptions Otherwise, the main vehicles to be hit will be all but the newest diesels. |
