only ten requests for aid from the Metropolis of Lyon made to change vehicles
During the Council of the Metropolis of Lyon, several embarrassing questions for the executive were asked.
On the management of the snowy episode of course. But also on the aid put in place to support residents in the deployment of the Low Emission Zone.
We thus learned that only ten people had applied for aid for the purchase of an electric, non-rechargeable hybrid or Crit’Air 1 petrol car or family bikes such as cargo, tricycles, longtails with electrical or mechanical assistance. The community offers 1,000 to 2,000 euros, depending on the level of reference tax income per part of the applicant, in order to encourage the gradual abandonment of the most polluting vehicles.
Of the 4.85 million euros released by the Métropole, only 13,000 were used according to the Progress.
Compared to the success of helping to buy an e-bike three years ago, that’s a four.
And it is all the more worrying that on January 1, 2023, ticket checks will begin in the ZFE since Crit’Air 5 vehicles have not been authorized there since September.
Deputy Vice-President of Travel, Jean-Charles Kohlhaas recognized that it might be necessary “adapt the device to be more effective”.
