Study on International Practices for Low Emission Zone and Congestion Charging

The document examines the implementation of Low Emission Zones (LEZ) and Congestion Charging (CC) in London, Singapore, and Stockholm to inform policy development in China. It identifies key areas for analysis, including scheme design, technology, and public communication, and provides specific recommendations for Chinese national and municipal governments to ensure successful adoption, such as aligning local schemes with national strategies and dedicating revenues to transportation improvements.

• To successfully implement LEZ and CC in China, the national government must align local scheme objectives with national transportation strategies and provide support through legislation, regulation, and policies.
• Municipal governments are advised to establish clear objectives, conduct detailed studies on fees and targets, and ensure that revenues are transparently allocated toward improving the transportation system.
• Successful implementation at the municipal level requires the use of field-proven technologies suited to local conditions, effective public communication that incorporates feedback to increase acceptability, and the development of complementary measures to provide alternative travel options.
