FOI request detail

ULEZ Enforcement Actions by Vehicle Type

Request ID: FOI-1653-1920
Date published: 18 September 2019

You asked

Please could you supply me with a breakdown of enforcement actions taken against various categories of vehicle in relation to the ULEZ / T-Charge from the introduction of the zone to the latest stats currently available. As to enforcement actions, I am primarily interested in number of warning letters and penalty charge notices issued to date. As to the breakdown by categories of vehicle - this could be as defined: EITHER a) on the TfL site (i.e. Cars; Vans, minibuses and more; Motorcycles, Mopeds and more; Lorries, Coaches and Larger Vehicles), OR b) by DVLA licensing qualification (A, AM, B, etc.), OR c) by DVLA Tax Code (i.e. motorcycle, petrol car, diesel car, etc.), whichever is most convenient to provide or fits with the collection and identification method. As to breakdown by time, this could be daily, weekly or monthly, whichever is most convenient to provide.

TfL Ref: FOI-1653-1920

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 September 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked:

As to the breakdown by categories of vehicle - this could be as defined:

EITHER a) on the TfL site (i.e. Cars; Vans, minibuses and more; Motorcycles, Mopeds and more; Lorries, Coaches and Larger Vehicles),

OR b) by DVLA licensing qualification (A, AM, B, etc.),

OR c) by DVLA Tax Code (i.e. motorcycle, petrol car, diesel car, etc.),

whichever is most convenient to provide or fits with the collection and identification method.

As the ULEZ scheme was new, between 8 April and 10 May we issued warning notices rather than Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs).

The ULEZ charge is payable at two rates:

  1. The ULEZ Low charge is £12.50 for most vehicle types, including cars, motorcycles and vans (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) 

     

  2. The ULEZ High charge is £100 for heavier vehicles, including lorries (over 3.5 tonnes) and buses/coaches (over 5 tonnes)

The attached tables details the number of warning notices and PCNs issued on a daily basis between 8 April and 28 August 2019 broken down by high and low category.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
