The Government set legal limits for pollution and Bristol needs to introduce a Clean Air Zone to ensure it meets those limits within the shortest possible time. Bristol’s zone started on 28 November 2022.
You can use the government’s compliance checking tool (GOV.UK) to check if your vehicle would be charged. The restrictions in Bristol will mirror those already in place in Birmingham, so if your vehicle is compliant in Birmingham it will be compliant in Bristol.
You can view a video explaining more about the Clean Air Zone below:
Documents that were submitted to Government from Bristol City Council as part of the Full Business Case for the zone are here: https://www.cleanairforbristol.org/caz/caz-full-business-case/ The report that explains the methodology behind the transport modelling is FBC 23. The Transport Forecast Modelling report is FBC 27.
