| 摘要： | Bradford Council's intention to introduce a Clean Air Zone in the city has been pushed back from an intended date in January, to a new generic 'spring 2022' timeline. The zone consists of a circle covering an area roughly up to two miles from the city centre, plus a corridor north-west along the Aire valley to Shipley and Saltaire, around four miles from the city centre. Operators affected by the zone include Arriva, First and Transdev. Their vehicles will have to meet emission standards of Euro6 and better, or face charges of £50 per day. However, there are some exemptions for smaller operators, while school buses will only have to meet Euro4 standards. Educational, charity and social value work may also qualify for exemptions, as will non-commercial historic vehicles over 40 years old. Charges will also apply to light and heavy goods vehicles, taxis and private hire vehicles, but not to cars owned privately - a Class C scheme in government parlance. As with other schemes, grants have been made available to upgrade vehicles to meet the new standards, with 75% of buses already meeting the standard by September 2021. £3.96m from the government's Clean Bus Technology Fund had enabled 217 vehicles to be upgraded, with the council adding a further £1.632m for its own Clean Air Bus Programme. It has also provided £1.66m for coaches and non-scheduled operations. |
