Model - Vehicle pollution charges in cities

Posted in Models, Movements, Visions by fedwards on July 26th, 2007

Pollution charges or vehicle congestion charges are gaining popularity in large cities as Milan has recently announced they’ll join London in imposing a “pollution charge” on vehicles entering its historic center to reduce exhaust emissions, the mayor’s office said on its Web site. Unfortunately a similar strategy for New York City was recently overturned by the New York State Assembly (click here for more information). In Milan, a 10-euro (US$14) daily fee will be charged for vehicles which enter the centre during weekday daytime hours over a year-long trial period. Read the full story on Planet Ark’s Environment News.
