what changes on January 1, 2023 ⋅ Toulouse Mairie Métropole, official site.
On January 1, 2023, the Low Emission Zone system comes into force for private cars. Vehicle traffic Crit’air 4, 5 and non-classified (the most polluting) will be prohibited in an area including Toulouse inside the ring road and, on the margins, part of Tournefeuille and Colomiers.
In order to reduce air pollution and in accordance with the 2019 Mobility Orientation Law, Toulouse Métropole has gradually implemented a Low Emission Zone (ZFE) since March 1, 2022. This is a geographical area in which the most polluting motorized vehicles can no longer circulate, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Objective: a more breathable metropolis to preserve the health of the inhabitants.
Order a Crit’Air sticker
The Crit’Air sticker is mandatory for circulars in low-emission zones for mobility (ZFE-m) applied by local authorities or for circulars when the prefect introduces differentiated traffic during pollution episodes. You will need to affix it to your windshield.
Relay parking, the right reflex
Toulouse Métropole facilitates access to the public transport network from park and ride facilities, even in the Low Emission Zone (ZFE).
- The relay car parks (P+R) located outside the perimeter of the ZFE (Balma-Gramont and Ramonville for the metro) are open to all users.
- The relay car parks located in the immediate vicinity of the entrance to the ZFE (Basso-Cambo, Borderouge and Argoulets), remain accessible to all users, whatever their vehicle. Access to them is not subject to traffic restrictions, following a dedicated route.
- Access to park and ride facilities located within the perimeter of the ZFE and closer to the city center of Toulouse (Arènes, La Vache, Jolimont) is subject to the traffic restrictions of the ZFE.
The relay car parks are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with a display of spaces in real time. Parking is free for Tisséo travelers*. Parking spaces are reserved for carpoolers.
*provided you have made a round trip and validated a transport ticket in the hour preceding your exit (1st price validation taken into account if you have made connections) and parked for less than 24 consecutive hours.
