Why Has Transport For London Introduced ULEZ
Research has identified that car pollution plays a major impact on health, this includes respiratory diseases and the under development of lungs and asthma in children.
Evidence Suggests that in the current ULEZ (in Central London), toxic Nitrogen Dioxide levels have fallen by nearly half in the first year of operation, this has prompted TFL to expand the zone further.
TFL is committed to improving the air quality for London and surrounding areas.
