Trebling the charging points in Greater Manchester.
The government has instructed Greater Manchester and many other areas to develop Clean Air Plans to bring levels of NO2 on local roads within legal limits as soon as possible.
So Greater Manchester is now working together to produce a single approach for the whole region.
TfGM have considered a wide range of measures that could help reduce roadside NO2 levels and carried out extensive work to help develop a proposed package of measures.
These measures include:
· A Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone which the most polluting buses, coaches, HGVs, vans, taxis and private hire vehicles would pay a daily penalty to drive in.
· A multi-million pound funding package to support local businesses and sole traders to upgrade to cleaner vehicles.
· Trebling the number of electric vehicle public charging points.
