Glasgow Taxis to join LEZ membership scheme
Glasgow Taxis have announced their membership of a scheme intended to raise awareness of Glasgow’s low emission zone (LEZ).
The company have announced that their vehicles which are already compliant to the standards which will be introduced in 2022 when the LEZ expands beyond local bus services.
Councillor Alex Wilson, chair of the licensing and regulatory committee said: “I’m delighted that Glasgow Taxis are piloting the compliant sticker scheme and look forward to seeing ‘LEZ Ready’ stickers on those taxis which already meet the strict, cleaner emissions requirements of Glasgow’s LEZ.”
Glasgow City Council hope that the new plan will help to increase awareness of the LEZ.
Glasgow Taxis Ltd Chairman Dougie McPherson said: “As the city’s friend, Glasgow Taxis believes that true partnership working can instigate positive change and powerful outcomes. This latest initiative to address a challenging issue is another great example of that and again shows Glasgow to be at the forefront of the drive towards more efficient, friendly and sustainable travel.”
The LEZ will limit access to the area to any petrol car which does not meet Euro four standard or any diesel car which does not meet Euro six standard.
