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.
