The study found that the ultra-low emission zone in central London led to significant changes in how children traveled to school, with 40% switching to active modes.
According to the CHILL study, 42% of London children previously driven to school began walking, cycling or taking public transport after the introduction of Ulez.
Researchers noted the biggest impact of Ulez on travel mode changes was among children living further than half a mile from their schools.
The introduction of the 12.50-a-day levy likely discouraged parents from using cars, contributing to the increase in active travel among inner-city children.
