Until July 5, the inhabitants of Toulouse Métropole can give their opinion during the public consultation on the future Zone


This is the last step before its entry into force in September 2021, after a little delay since it was due to see the light of day at the end of 2020. Until July 5, residents can give their opinion on the future Low Emissions Zone - mobility (ZFE) in the metropolis of Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) during the public consultation.

Imposed by law on large cities experiencing episodes of pollution, this project aims to gradually ban the most polluting vehicles from a well-defined area of ​​72 km2.

"The perimeter includes Toulouse within the ring road and a small part of Colomiers and Tournefeuille, the west of Toulouse with the aeronautics center," underlines François Chollet, in charge of Ecology, sustainable development and energy transition at Toulouse Metropolis.

It is a health issue that will allow more than 420,000 people to have better air quality.

The driving ban for the vehicles concerned will be valid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The idea is not to take people by the throat by setting them binding standards but to leverage and support them in the transition ”.

Help to acquire another means of locomotion

In September, the ban will first apply to vans, vans and heavy goods vehicles carrying the Crit'air 5 sticker and not classified, in 2022 the same commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles certified Crit'air 4, in 2023 light vehicles and two-wheelers classified Crit'air 4, 5 and not classified then in 2024 light vehicles, two-wheelers, utility vehicles and heavy goods vehicles up to Crit'air 3.

The refractories will be controlled by a camera system, with a fine of 68 euros in the event of non-compliance and 135 euros for heavy goods vehicles.

Nearly 47,000 vehicles are said to be banned in this protected area.

To help the inhabitants of the Pink City towards this change of mobility, Toulouse Métropole offers bonuses to help individuals and professionals change vehicles or acquire an electric bicycle.
