London congestion charge Sample Clauses

London congestion charge. ‌ The London congestion charging scheme was implemented in February 2003. It consisted of a congestion charge on motor vehicles (exempt for taxis, motorcycles, buses, emergency vehicles, vehicles for disabled people with blue badges, and certain vehicles with cleaner emissions) driving in a limited central zone in London. Residents living within the zone were given a 90 % reduced charge, but all other vehicles had to pay £5 per day when entering the zone between 7 am and 6.30 pm Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays and public holidays). The congestion charge was accompanied by a number of transport measures, e.g. improved and expanded bus services, bus priority on main routes within and around the charging zone, etc. Improvements were also planned for the underground regarding frequency and reliability. In addition, traffic management measures related to road maintenance and locations for displaced traffic among other things were introduced (Leape, 2006; TfL, 2003).

The objectives of the scheme were to reduce congestion, improve bus services, improve journey time for cars and make the distribution of goods and services more reliable, sustainable and efficient. In addition, the scheme should generate net revenues to help improve transport in London (TfL, 2003). Initially, there were no quantified goals named in the Transport Strategy for London which led to criticism in the consultation round that followed the presentation of the strategy. As a result, a few more clearly defined targets were presented. The congestion charging scheme was expected to lead to a reduction of total traffic (measured in vehicle miles) within the charging zone by 10 – 15 %, an increase in traffic speeds of 10 – 15 % and a reduction of congestion (measured in vehicle delays) by 20 – 30 %. However, as noted in a report from the Transport...
