5 Westminster Bridge End of 19 th Century

6 The Central London Scheme Political change in Britain from % of England s congestion is in London Central London was the most congested area with average all day speeds of less than 9mph Despite 85% public transport usage, vehicular traffic was still a major problem in Central London The congestion persisted throughout the day it was not a peak commuter problem

7 Where is the Congestion Charging zone? Central London only

50 Air Quality in London Air pollution is a serious problem in London - 1,000 premature deaths per year - 1,000 hospital admissions per year Affects most vulnerable parts of society Majority of Londoners concerned about poor air quality and want to see it improved Particular problems with emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) Worse in central London, main roads, Heathrow Road traffic major source of emissions Trucks, buses, and coaches largest individual emitters

51 LEZ boundary

52 Comparison of sizes of Low Emission Zone and Congestion Charging Zone

53 Definitions and standards Vehicle type and definitions Heavier lorries - Goods vehicles exceeding 12t Lighter lorries - Goods vehicles between 3.5 and 12t Date of LEZ scheme implementation Feb 2008 Jan 2012 Jul 2008 Jan 2012 Emission standard (for PM) required to drive in the LEZ at no charge Euro III Euro IV Euro III Euro IV Buses and coaches - Passenger vehicles with more than eight seats plus the driver s seat and exceeding 5t Jul 2008 Jan 2012 Euro III Euro IV Heavier vans - Goods vehicles between tonnes (unladen) and 3.5t Oct 2010 Euro III Minibuses - Passenger vehicles with more than eight seats plus the driver s seat below 5t Oct 2010 Euro III

54 How will LEZ operate There will be signs at entry points and in the zone Most will avoid paying the charge by driving a compliant vehicle Vehicles subject to the LEZ detected using fixed and mobile cameras TfL checks vehicle registration against a register of compliant vehicles Non compliant vehicles have to pay a daily charge 200 per day for HGV, buses and coaches 100 per day for vans and minibuses Charging day midnight to midnight, 365 days a year Payment can be made by phone or internet, up to midnight on the next working day after entering the zone

55 Enforcement of the LEZ Vehicles which are non compliant, or which are not on the register will be sent a Penalty Charge Notice: 1,000 (reduced to 500 if paid within 14 days) for HGVs, buses & coaches (subject to LEZ in 2008) 500 (reduced to 250 if paid within 14 days) for heavier LGVs & minibuses (subject to LEZ in 2010) Our agent, EPC, has agreements with vehicle registration authorities in a number of European countries to obtain vehicle and keeper information The first time vehicles are observed in the zone they will be sent a warning letter, giving them the opportunity to register

56 Technology Trials

61 Trials summary tag & beacon Stage 2 testing system of Urban Charge Points (UCPs) integrating cameras/anpr with DSRC

62 DSRC Infrastructure - Stockholm

63 DSRC charge point - Singapore

64 DSRC Infrastructure from Stockholm superimposed on a London street

65 Tooley Street - Current Design

66 Technology Trials Borough High Street

67 DSRC equipment with shorter arm

68 Trials Results and Conclusions Very high DSRC capture rate 99.95% Mobile phone technology useful for Value Added Services GPS coverage with GALILEO will significantly enhance coverage of Central London GPS satellite system feasible in medium term future - (possibly 2015 onwards) DSRC favoured form of technology for short term migration - (possibly 2009/2010) Urban streetscape issues associated with DSRC need to be addressed Copyright Transport for London 2007

69 Key lessons learnt Political commitment of Mayor Extensive public consultation Adequate public transport alternatives Effective traffic management outside CC area Use of proven technology It works and has public support Need for ongoing monitoring Possible integration into national scheme
