Public policy and regulations for low emission zones
Low Emission Zones (LEZs) are an essential urban policy tool to combat air pollution and improve public health. The implementation of LEZs requires a sound regulatory framework that clearly defines the vehicles that are restricted, the criteria for their implementation and the penalties for non-compliance.
Public policies for EPZs should establish specific emission standards for vehicles that can circulate in these areas. These standards are often based on vehicle technology and year of manufacture, restricting access to vehicles that do not meet the most stringent emissions standards. In addition, it is essential that these policies include incentives for the adoption of electric vehicles and other sustainable modes of transport.
Ingartek assists local authorities in every step of the process of designing and implementing LEZs, from planning and implementation to evaluation and continuous improvement. With a clear regulatory framework, appropriate incentives and effective communication, we ensure that EPZs make a significant contribution to improving air quality and public health.
