Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans the Government has to support commuters who use polluting cars to travel to work to switch to (a) bikes and (b) e-bikes following the introduction of the ULEZ zone in London.

In London, transport is devolved to the Mayor of London and delivered by Transport for London (TfL). The ULEZ is one of The Mayor of London’s proposals to improve London’s air quality, and it is for him to manage any incentives relating to the scheme.

The Government is committed to increasing cycling and walking, and has a wide range of policies in place to support this. These were originally set out in detail in the statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in 2017.
