Congestion Charging Schemes: Way To Go For More Liveable Cities?
08 NOV | 9:30 | Mobility Plaza
EIT Urban Mobility

With the adoption of the European Green Deal, the European Union has set a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of -55% by 2030, with the objective to become the first climate neutral continent by 2050. In this context, many European cities have introduced Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVARs), such as congestion charging schemes, to tackle air pollution, limit traffic congestion, improve road safety and redistribute public space. Latest research shows that congestion charges in cities reduce traffic and car accidents while improving air quality and helping the adoption of e-vehicles. However, congestion charging schemes should be integrated in a broader set of sustainable urban mobility measures. There remain crucial questions that need answering regarding the equity and acceptance components of those measures, as well as concerns from industry and SMEs, and how such schemes influence citizens’ mobility behaviour. EIT Urban Mobility invites you to discuss whether congestion charging schemes are a good measure for more liveable cities.
