Hypothetical Policy Description For York
A: Road user cordon charging in York B: Parking levy charges for business private parking in York
A charge of £2 would be introduced for all cars, coaches and motorcycles each time they cross the OUTER RING ROAD, and a charge of £1 would be introduced for any of the above each time they cross the INNER RING ROAD (as shown on the
map). Driving along these roads is not
charged, in effect the charging cordon is along the inside of the ring roads. The scheme would affect traffic going
TOWARDS the city centre and entering
the cordon between 7am- 10am. There would be no charge for other times of day. Public transport (buses / park and ride); cyclists, delivery vans and lorries would
not have to pay the charge.
Companies within the outer and inner cordons would be charged for their parking provision for employees at the place of work. The charge would be £3
per space per day (for all days on
which business is undertaken at the place of work). This implies a charge of around £700 per space per year. All spaces apart from retail consumer parking would be charged for.
Current on-street and off-street parking restrictions and charges would remain in place. However, bear in mind that private and public car park operators would have to pay the parking levy for their long stay parking spaces, and may well increase their parking charges as a result.
There would be no change in the calculation of rateable values.
Both policies aim to reduce the traffic congestion and pollution in and around York, by encouraging a switch away from car use, and also to raise finance for public
transport improvements.
IN YOUR RESPONSES, PLEASE ASSUME THAT THE CHARGES CANNOT BE EVADED, AND THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO IMPLEMENT THEM.
Note that the charge levels given above are exploratory only, and could be increased over time if low charges have no impact on congestion levels.
In either case the money raised from the policies would be used for improvements to public transport services, and cycle and pedestrian facilities for the city and
surrounding area.
