Mayor Sadiq Khan emphasized that TfL is significantly addressing the £376 million owed from unpaid Ulez fines, highlighting their commitment to exploring all debt recovery options. He noted the majority of drivers comply with emission standards, with only a small fraction facing penalty charges.
Khan clarified the situation regarding penalty charge notices, stating that 96% of vehicles are compliant and that only 0.27% of total drivers received PCNs. Despite the 'alarming' debt, the majority actively pay the Ulez charge.
Assembly member Neil Garratt raised concerns about the impact of Ulez expansion on low-wage drivers in outer London, emphasizing their financial struggles with old vehicles and the unaffordable costs associated with Ulez compliance.
Khan asserted that TfL would not stop seeking recovery until every avenue is explored, indicating their serious approach towards tackling the financial issue and asserting a strong message against unpaid charges.
