10 PA R T I C U L AT E M ATTER London had a very high pollution episode in January, which meant PM 10 concentrations were roughly more than double the hourly legal EU limit. Whole of London is exposed to particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) levels that exceed safe limits set by the World Health Organisation.

12 M AY O R A L P R I O R I T Y The Mayor held a consultation on a number of air quality measures within weeks of coming into office. One of the biggest tasks we have when formulating these new measures is looking at how we can deal with the problem of diesel vehicles

13 A I R Q U A L I T Y A L E R T S During and on the day before high and very high air pollution days, air quality alerts will be displayed at: 2, 500 bus countdow n signs and river pier signs. 140 road signs, with instructions to switch engines off when stationary to reduce emissions. T he entrance of all 270 London Underground stations.

14 H E A LT H Y S T R E E T S Car dependency has contributed to an increase in poor public health across our city. By 2041, the Mayor aims for: 80 per cent of Londoners trips to be on foot, by cycle or by using public transport (from 64%); London s total traffic to have reduced by 10-15%; All deaths and serious injuries from road collisions to be eliminated.

15 New double decks have been hybrid, hydrogen or electric from this year; new single decks will be zero exhaust emission from 2020 Target: Zero emission bus fleet by 2037 at the latest

16 L O W E M I S S I O N B U S Z O N E S Deploying the greenest buses on the capital s most polluted routes 12 zones by 2020 Part of an improvement programme to 3,000 buses outside central London. Expected to reduce bus NOx emissions by around 84 per cent

17 No more diesel taxis from 2018 and new taxis will need to be zero emission capable Target: Zero emission capable taxi fleet by 2033 at the latest

18 E M I S S I O N S S U R C H A R G E An Emissions Surcharge started on 23 October charge during Congestion Charge hours for older polluting vehicles On top of existing congestion charge For pre-euro 4/VI toughest standard of any world city.

20 C L E A N E R V E H I C L E C H E C K E R The scheme provides motorists with independent real -world NOx information Tools Newer Vehicle Checker (Euro 6) Cleaner Fleet Checker Data Source EQUA Index developed by Emissions Analytics Used Vehicle Checker (pre-euro 6) TRUE Rating - developed by TRUE Initiative Testing Method PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement System) Remote Sensing/ Roadside Emissions Measurements

21 U S E D V E H I C L E C H E C K E R GLA is working in partnership with the TRUE Initiative to develop a Used Vehicle Checker using the TRUE Rating. A remote sensing project in London completed in spring and the resulting data will be incorporated into the TRUE Rating later this year. The CVC currently provides real world emissions information on the latest Euro 6 models, but this will be expanded to inform those wishing to learn more about real-world emissions of older, pre-euro 6 vehicles.

22 N E W T R A N S P O R T S T R AT E G Y London s proposals will remove the dirtiest diesel vehicles before However, the Mayor wants a holistic approach and has set out an ambitious strategy to make London s transport network zero carbon by Zero emission zones in town centres and central London from 2025; All new cars and vans in London zero emission by 2030 at the latest.
