We’d welcome your views on proposed changes to the Congestion Charge.
Last year, in response to the transport challenges of the pandemic and the Government’s emergency funding of Transport for London (TfL), we made temporary changes to the Congestion Charge. This included extending its charging hours until 22:00 each day and increasing the charge level to £15. We are now consulting on new proposals. The proposals include reducing the charging hours to between 07:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00 to 18:00 at weekends.
The new proposals are part of the commitment by the Mayor of London and TfL to reduce traffic and congestion in central London. This would improve London’s air quality, reduce carbon emissions and encourage more journeys to be made by walking, cycling or public transport.
The proposed changes are:
· £15 charge level
· No Auto Pay or Fleet Auto Pay discount
· £17.50 pay next day charge, and can be paid up to three days after travel
· The charging hours would be Monday to Friday from 07:00 – 18:00 and Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 12:00 – 18:00
· No charge from Christmas Day to New Year’s Day bank holiday (inclusive)
· 90 per cent residents’ discount, re-opened to new applicants
· Reimbursement arrangements for certain NHS patients, care home workers, local authority and charity workers or volunteers providing certain services during
