ULEZ - has your company given you a pay increase?

[mattvanders]

For anyone London based, with the expansion of it to the whole of the inner M25, has anyone had their company give a bonus or pay increase to cover the extra cost? I know it only affect non ULEZ complaints cars so some people may actually get a pay rise out of it

[Scrump]

Not just London, CAZs (effectively same as ULEZ) have been introduced in a number of UK cities.
London commuters have more public transport options than commuters in most other cities.

To answer your question: no.

[The Leaper]

I am not in favour of the ULEZ, particularly the way it is being expanded and introduced, but surely your question is against the spirt of ULEZ. A compensating pay rise will do nothing to persuade people to change their vehicles or travelling habits.

Yep, very aware that Bath, Bristol, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Newcastle, Sheffield, Manchester and Bradford are all CAZ or is being looked into with family dotted around. I only expect more places to become them. As far as I can see these are £9 a day where London will be £12.5

Bradford CAZ doesn't apply to cars.

Bradford CAZ doesn't apply to cars.

and Manchester's has been delayed to 2026 and doesn't apply to private cars (so says the proposal)

Agree that if there a pay rise then your unlikely to change a vehicle. I’m in a position that my current job and house is outside the ULEZ area, have had interview and job offer at a company within the new are when it comes in to effect. I have a non compliance vehicle and because there isn’t a pay difference or extra to cover the charge i’m probably going to turn the offer down. My job is quiet specialist so know in my current role it took them almost a year to fill. Even this new company has had the job offer up for currently over 9 months. Options for easily traveling by public transport are there but equally not very cost effective or more importantly time effect compared to driving. How many people are going to not take a role based on the extra cost involved or even change job if there current car is not compliant but can’t or done want to change the vehicle.

We're paying it to people if they have to visit a site that's within a CAZ/ULEZ/CC unless it's their main (normal) office.

We're not paying it to all staff primarily because all of our offices are well served by Public Transport.

The same as Sheffield's which starts next week.

It will include private cars though in time, you can bet your life on it.

Who told you that nonsense?

It's being expanded to cover all the London Boroughs. There are large areas inside the M25 not covered by ULEZ. In fact, about 800K people live inside the M25 but outside London. There's a small area to the East that's outside the M25 but inside London and will be in the expanded ULEZ zone.

[mattvanders]

Sorry, I realise it’s not to the fall width of the m25, the only reason I say the how of the m25 is because it come that far out near to me (Essex way) compared to other areas

If the money and offer is right, do you want the job?
If so negotiate.

Funny how those introducing ULEZ don't mind more people entering the country.

Surely if they care about pollution/environment, then population control is the first thing?

ULEZ has nothing to do with pollution, it's socialist restriction of freedom.

A good observation!

I see that Khan has applied to the government for another £100m of funding, apparently to cover further costs of ULEZ installation....not surprised he's been told where to go. What's he doing with all the money coming in from the CZ and the ULEZ already has to be asked, surely.

Any petrol car from about 2006 is ULEZ compliant, and there are plenty for sale for less than £1000. It's an inconvenience, but considerably less than many people pay for a season train ticket, or even a monthly train ticket!
