A recent Freedom of Information request has revealed that Croydon drivers faced the highest Ulez charges since the clean air zone's launch in 2019, accumulating £4.1m, followed by other boroughs like Hillingdon and Ealing. Interestingly, these boroughs, except part of Ealing, only became part of the Ulez upon its expansion in August 2023. The statistics suggest that the financial burden of Ulez was predominantly felt before this expansion. TfL maintains that Ulez is not intended to generate profit, with all funds reinvested into public transport infrastructure.
Statistics from a Freedom of Information request reveal Croydon drivers paid the most in Ulez fees since the zone started, illustrating the financial impact on outer London.
Despite the Ulez expansion, drivers in certain outer London boroughs experienced greater financial strain before the changes, indicating a complex relationship with the low emissions zone.
