Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 18 March 2021.
Thank you for your answer to my question 2020/1014. Is Transport for London (TfL) now monitoring traffic in the forthcoming expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) area, and could you provide a baseline figure for traffic, or comment on recent trends ahead of the expanded ULEZ introduction?
Transport for London (TfL) monitors traffic volumes in central London, inner London and outer London, and this will continue through the introduction of the expanded ULEZ zone. The Travel in London Report 13 gives a summary of trends in these areas (http://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-report-13.pdf).
Historic data leading up to the start of 2020 can be found between pages 92 and 97. Data during the pandemic of 2020 can be found between page 172 and 177. The data behind this commentary allows for detailed monitoring of trends. Trends during 2020 have of course been affected by the pandemic, and it is too early to comment on traffic levels over the remainder of the year further than what is within Travel in London Report 13.
