Information on Scotland's low emission zones – protecting public health by improving air quality in our towns and cities
Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh & Glasgow
@LeeMitc15135792 Each low emission zone will be appropriately signposted and road closures will be accounted for. More info to be found at https://t.co/RpNMsEW2Os
@dwm220263 In 2019/20 £7.9 million grant funding was provided to local authorities to support the delivery of infrastructure schemes on the broad aspect of sustainable transport to support the delivery of LEZs. Park and ride projects were included in the range of schemes funded.
@FelicityM Minimum standards for LEZs are Euro 6/VI for diesel vehicles & Euro 4/IV for petrol vehicles. Boundaries will be based on specific, local needs. There are no current plans to include the Tay Bridge within the Dundee LEZ boundary. Register for updates at https://t.co/XxkBll1buC
@mackbhoy Low emission zones are expected to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year. Scottish Ministers will specify the amount for penalty charges within the regulations set out in the Transport Bill.
@DanPunchard @cheeseborgir Grants are available to support the cost of upgrading engines or exhausts on HGVs to reduce emissions and protect public health. To register your interest in the grant funding visit https://t.co/BNogkLKkIe
@cheeseborgir We recently launched a support fund which offers grants to help commercial vehicles comply with the expected low emission zones standards by retrofitting and we also plan to provide support for households and private individuals in the near future.
