The ZFE in Toulouse on March 1, questions from listeners
On this subject, we will have to be pedagogical. Explain to Toulouse residents and all those who regularly come to Toulouse what this ZFE is, what its timetable is, what you risk if you drive a vehicle that pollutes too much, what is considered a excessively polluting vehicle. Explanations, with the elected representative of Toulouse Métropole in charge of the file, François Chollet.
François Chollet reminds that only vehicles classified with a sticker 1 and 2 will never be concerned. Trucks and vans will be subject to these obligations this year, before individuals from next year, holders of a sticker 4 and 5.
Changing cars while taking advantage of a bonus can simply mean buying a newer diesel car.
In 2024 when the measure will be full7% of the car fleet i.e. 45,000 vehicles are concerned, very few two-wheelers. There are cumulative aid schemes to help individuals change cars: from the Metropolis, the Region, the State to buy an electric vehicle or take a less polluting car such as a more recent Gasoline or Diesel.
The first checks start via cameras in 2023. Until then, the municipal police and the national police carry out random checks. The fine will be 68 euros.
Listeners already have questions
Christophe, manager of a masonry company, owns several dump trucks 3.5 tons. He wonders how to do it, since there are no such “green” vehicles. François Chollet confirms that this is one of the derogations.
Loïc de Colomiers called the switchboard to talk about the collectible cars other than those dating from the 1960s and 70s, they are between 20 and 30 years old, like Peugeot 205 GTIs. “An allocation is granted for three years for collector’s vehicles“, answers François Chollet. “But for the recreational vehicles you are talking about, it has not yet been arbitrated. There is an experiment in Reims, it is legally complicated“.
Gérard, a resident of Seysses asks the question of access to car parks for owners of Crit’air 4 and 5 vehicles.”This is part of the work initiated with Tisséo of course. 1,000 parking spaces will be developed on the outskirts of the ZFE. There will also be the Lineo and the Express Network in Muret which allow you to get to town”
