why have motorcycles been included in the ULEZ
Could you give me the evidence used to include motorcycles in the ULEZ given they reportedly only make up 1% of the pollution form vehicles. What modelling was done in regards there potential to reduce congestion and therefore potentially reducing emissions from other vehicles stuck in traffic
ULEZ’s primary aim is to reduce air pollution by stimulating an improvement in the vehicle fleet. Therefore no modelling was undertaken as part of this scheme to understand whether motorcycles reduce congestion.
equality impact of extension of the ULEZ
Could you please tell me what the equality impact study of the extension of the ULEZ showed. Did it look at the impact on socio economically deprived residents, what was the finding in terms of ethnic minorities ?
The equality impact of ULEZ extension can be found in the integrated impact assessment.
