Dynamic Low Emissions Zones
§The
Dynamic Low Emissions Zones Transformative Concept includes a geographically
defined area and seeks to restrict or deter access by specific categories
of high-polluting vehicles into the zone for the purpose of improving the air
quality within the geographic area.
§Low
Emissions Zones may:
□Be permanent, similar to London’s Low
Emissions Zone.
□Provide the capability for the zone to be dynamic. Dynamic
zones would allow operating entities to change the parameters of the
zone based on various criteria including air
quality conditions, weather conditions, traffic conditions,
or special events.
□Encourage travel using transit, carpools, and fuel
efficient vehicles.
□Consider varying geographic boundaries:
▪Special Event Facility – encouraging mode shift
▪City, County, Metropolitan Area, or State
