To help create healthier urban environments and a better quality of life for everyone, several cities now use Emissions-Based Parking. These charges—which can be based on your vehicle's recorded CO2 emissions or its fuel type—are designed to encourage the use of greener vehicles and reduce air pollution in busy areas.
How it works
Some parking operators apply a surcharge based on how a vehicle impacts local air quality. This usually includes:
Emission levels: Rates based on the CO2 grams per kilometre (g/km) your vehicle produces.
Fuel types: Surcharges for certain fuel types, such as diesel, to help lower nitrogen dioxide levels in the city.
RingGo supports these initiatives by automatically calculating the correct rate based on your vehicle’s details, ensuring you stay compliant with local city policies.
Where do these charges apply?
Many councils have adopted these strategies to improve local air quality. You can find detailed information on their specific rates and fuel policies below:
