We answered

TfL Ref: EIR-4304-2324

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 20th February 2024 asking for information about revenue collected from the ULEZ scheme.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. 

Specifically you asked:

As a London commuter, who is struggling daily with how badly run the Underground has become, I would like to know what the money made from ULEZ fines is being spent on.”

I can confirm that we hold the information you require.

It is a statutory requirement that any net revenue generated by our road charging schemes (the ULEZ, LEZ or the Congestion Charge) is reinvested back into London’s transport network for purposes that directly or indirectly facilitate the implementation of any policies or proposals set out in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. Some of the programmes that the net revenue will be spent on are detailed in the Four-Year General Programme, published on our website here:

Yours sincerely,
