Workplace Parking Levies

     

    A Workplace Parking Levy (WPL) is a charge on employers and education organisations for the number of parking places they provide that are regularly used by employees, students or others.

    WPLs are used to encourage commuters to switch away from using private vehicles to get to work or school - this will help us meet the Mayor's aim that 80% of trips in London be made by walking, cycling or by public transport by 2041. The revenue raised will be spent on improving local transport.

    The Mayor of London's support for boroughs planning to introduce WPLs as part of their traffic reduction strategies is set out in Proposal 23 of the Mayor's Transport Strategy.

    Boroughs that want to develop a WPL should review the statutory guidance. A model Scheme Order (and accompanying Explanatory Note for boroughs) is also available - contact us on the email below.

    We can help interested boroughs build the evidence base for a new scheme and ensure it meets the requirements of the Mayor's Transport Strategy.

    Our information on Smart commuting can also help with the implementation of a WPL.
