In today's rapidly changing world, environmental conservation has taken center stage. One of the key initiatives in this regard is the introduction of ULEZ vehicle requirements. These requirements play a pivotal role in safeguarding our environmental health.

Vancouver is considering traffic congestion tolls

Vancouver has the worst traffic in Canada and according to a recent National Observer report, “by 2040, a whopping one million more people are projected to move to Metro Vancouver, with an expected increase of 600,000 vehicles on the roads.” For those who don’t live there, I don’t know if you’ve ever (tried) to drive in downtown Vancouver, but it’s pretty much a nightmare. I was there for work one time and was told we would be setting aside over two hours for the trek to the airport — about a 30-kilometre jaunt in the morning rush hour. It was warranted.

If implemented, Vancouver would be the first North American city to see tolls applied to its roads. The idea itself has already been put into action in places like London, England since 2009, which now has one of the largest “congestion zones“ in the world, as well as the toughest rules. If you drive in this zone between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm any day of the year save Christmas, you pay £15 (CAD$26) each time.

In 2019, they stepped up the program to include an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) that operates around the clock except for Christmas day.  “Motorists who drive into the zone in a vehicle that does not meet the new emission standard (petrol vehicles that do not meet Euro 4 standards and diesel vehicles that do not meet Euro 6) will have to pay a daily charge.” The tolls are £12.50 (CAD$22) per car, van or motorcycle; and £100 (CAD$176) for trucks and buses. The ULEZ zone is the same as the congestion zone, and those charges are in addition to the congestion zone charges. They note that most vehicles built since 2006 can meet the requirements of the ULEZ (there’s a handy checker for residents). An additional Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is aiming to get the most-diesel-polluting trucks off the road. There were some suspensions during the pandemic, but the charges are getting back to normal.

Our response to the expanded London Ultra Low Emission Zone consultation

30 November 2017 ,

All Londoners should benefit from cleaner air: our response to Ultra Low Emission Zone announcement.

The Mayor of London has proposed expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to the North and South Circular roads for all vehicles from 25 October 2021 From 26 October 2020, ULEZ standards would then apply across Greater London for buses, coaches and lorries only Consultation seeks the public’s views on these actions to lower toxic pollutant emissions Sustrans joins calls for a Londonwide Ultra Low Emission Zone for all vehicles alongside major push for walking and cycling, so that all Londoners can breathe clean air

The Mayor of London today launched a new public consultation on the next phase of his plans to tackle London’s toxic air, reduce filthy emissions and protect the public from harmful pollution by expanding the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Under a proposal which is out for consultation today, the ULEZ standards would be applied over the breadth of Greater London (Londonwide) for buses, coaches and lorries from 26 October 2020 and for all vehicles (with limited exemptions) up to the north and south circular roads from 25 October 2021.

The proposals are part of the Mayor’s wider plans to help thousands more Londoners breathe cleaner air, protect public health and reduce car emissions from older more polluting vehicles.

The Mayor recently delivered the first phase of these plans by introducing the new Toxicity Charge in central London for the oldest vehicles on top of the Congestion Charge.

From 08 April 2019, the ULEZ will replace the T-Charge and operate in the same Congestion Charge area alongside the congestion charge but will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The daily charge for non-compliant vehicles will increase from £10 to £12.50 (for cars, vans and motorbikes) and £100 (for buses, coaches and lorries).

The consultation launched today is for the third phase that will deliver the health benefits of ULEZ to thousands more Londoners by extending the Ultra Low Emission Zone in 2021. This could affect 100,000 cars a day, 35,000 vans a day and 3,000 lorries a day.

Matt Winfield, London Director for Sustrans, said: “The Mayor’s proposals to expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone to the North and South Circular have our full support and we want to see the zone expand to cover all vehicles over the whole of Greater London in 2020 so that from Croydon to Romford all Londoners benefit from cleaner air alongside moves to clear the city of diesel entirely.

“Beyond these measures, the evidence shows that to tackle toxic particulate pollution we need fewer vehicles not just cleaner engines, that’s why the Mayor and Boroughs must press on with a comprehensive network of high-quality cycling routes reaching across London and use every available tool to reduce the dominance of traffic on our streets.”

Rachel White, Sustrans' Senior Policy and Political Advisor, added: “The Mayor of London is showing welcome leadership on tackling toxic air pollution with proposals to expand the ULEZ across more of London and record spending on cycling. While the Scottish Government plans to introduce low emission zones in four cities by 2020 and has doubled its active travel budget; the UK Government’s Air Quality Plan lags way behind and will do little to address the problem at its source.”

The World Health Organisation state that there is no safe level for the smallest Particulate Matter (PM2.5) pollution, a major source of which is from the erosion of tyres and brake pads. The Mayor has already strengthened the ULEZ standards to include a particulate matter standard after recent health data revealed that every part of London exceeds recommended World Health Organisation air quality guidelines for PM2.5. The Mayor’s draft London Environment Strategy plans to meet these guidelines by 2030.

Other action from the Mayor includes cleaning up the bus fleet, creating 12 Low Emission Bus Zones, phasing out diesel taxis, funding 50 schools air quality audits, setting tighter standards for construction machinery and introducing air quality alerts. He has also created a Cleaner Vehicle Checker so Londoners can check the real-world emissions of cars and vans before buying them.

The benefits of the expanded ULEZ are reported to include:

Approximately 100,000 people will no longer live in areas exceeding legal limits, which is a reduction of nearly 80 per cent in 2021. 

43 per cent fewer roads exceeding limit values in 2020 and 64 per cent fewer in 2021

71 per cent reduction in schools in areas of exceedance in 2021 – rapidly lowering harmful emissions than can reduce lung development in children

In outer London there would be around a 20 per cent reduction in NOx road transport emissions, and in inner London there would be around a 30 per cent reduction in NOx road transport emissions in 2021

In December 2016 Sustrans signed an open letter with 10 other organisations to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, asking him to ban diesel cars by no later than 2025, to tackle air pollution in London.
