Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge
Oxfordshire County Council are asking for people’s views on our proposal for six temporary congestion charge locations for cars in Oxford.
Press Release
The temporary congestion charge is designed to reduce congestion in Oxford while Botley Road is closed, and while we are unable to start the traffic filters trial. The scheme would improve bus services and make it easier for those with permits, including community health and care workers, carers, blue badge holders and traders, to travel by car into and around the city.
The objectives of the scheme are the same as for traffic filters. The scheme aims to:
- reduce traffic
- make bus journeys faster and more reliable
- allow for new and improved bus routes
- make walking and cycling safer
- reduce local air pollution
- improve the health and wellbeing of our communities.
