Transport Committee: ULEZ expansion
Channel: London Assembly
Date: 12/07/2022

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is designed to improve air quality in London. It was introduced in April 2019 and most vehicles need to meet the ULEZ emissions standards or drivers must pay a daily charge to drive within the zone.

In October 2021, the ULEZ was extended to the North and South Circular boundary. This expansion covers 3.8 million residents and is eighteen times the size of the previous central London zone.

In March 2022, the Mayor announced plans for a London-wide expansion of the ULEZ to be launched in 2023. The proposal to expand the ULEZ scheme will see its boundary cover most of Greater London.
