Total Quantity or Scope

In February 2016, Defra and DfT established a Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU) to oversee the delivery of the government's plan for tackling NO2 (Nitrogen Oxide) compliance. A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) defines an area where targeted action is taken to improve air quality and resources are prioritised and coordinated in order to shape the urban environment in a way that delivers improved health benefits and supports economic growth. Clean Air Zones aim to address all sources of pollution, including nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, and reduce public exposure to them using a range of measures tailored to the location. Clean Air Zones bring together local measures to deliver immediate action to improve air quality and health with support for cities to grow while delivering sustained reductions in pollution and a transition to a low emission economy. Where there are the most persistent pollution problems, this is supported by restrictions to encourage only the cleanest vehicles to operate in the city. The purpose of the Non-UK Digital National Register for Clean Air Zones is to enable the compliance assessment of non-UK vehicles according to the national CAZ Framework definitions, thereby reducing the reputational, political and legal risks associated with the current policy of issuing blanket PCNs to all non-UK vehicles that do not pay a charge, without evidence of their non-compliance. … Suppliers can ask any clarification question for a period of 10 working days after the notice has been published.
