The initiative also provides a forum where transport operators, local authorities, and government can exchange ideas and best practice ensuring that cities work for everyone.

What's in it for technology providers?

The Clear Zones initiative offers a framework within which the contribution of technology to resolving the environmental impacts of transport have been promoted and developed. New technologies can help to make best use of the interfaces between transport modes, they can stimulate the development of zero or low-polluting vehicles, and they can provide monitoring and control technologies for zone-based optimisation of environmental impact and traffic flow. UK companies in the transport systems industry, in the vehicles and fuel supply industries and in information technology and communications are well placed to take advantage of these opportunities.

What's in it for citizens?
