In cities experiencing rapid urbanization especially, there is a need to shift away from both private cars and transition to electric vehicles to address climate change, improve air quality, and reduce traffic injuries. In recent years, low emission zones (LEZs) have grown in popularity as one potentially impactful strategy for cities to reduce dependence on private vehicles and offer clean, affordable, accessible alternatives.
