Summary of request
Your request
I would like all relevant information pertaining to the ULEZ charges and what actual
air purification system is being put in place for the money like air purifying units for
example.
I don't see how throwing money out my car window as I'm driving is purifying
the air and I want the conformation that you are actually spending the money on
purifying the air and not on bike lanes as I know you have spent all the money from
your other taxes on rubbish and not for the good of Londoners.
Our response
The ULEZ helps reduce harmful emissions from road transport by disincentivising the use of older, more polluting vehicles. Air purification systems are not part of the ULEZ scheme.
Any net revenue raised by the ULEZ must be reinvested into running and improving London’s transport network. In line with the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, any net revenue will support selected elements of walking and cycling, road safety, environment, bus (including customer information) and rail programmes.
