Exempt Motorcycles from Ultra-Low Emission Zone Charge (ULEZ)

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Ultra-Low Emission Zone charge was announce by London Mayor earlier this year, in response to the rising levels of harmful NOx gas In the air. It will mean a flat £12.50 daily rate applied to all pre-2007 motorcycles that travel in certain parts of central London from April 2019.

Motorcycles should be exempt from this charge as a huge amount of them travel around London every day. The majority of these bikes will have to pay the new ULEZ charge of £12,50 and this will inevitably push a lot of the bikers to use trains, buses and underground causing even more pollution and congestion. Bikes as well as bicycles are a good way of keeping low level emissions and congestion to a bare minimum. Bikes are the solution and not a hindrance! For more info Join We Ride London or Mag
