Improving air quality in London with a hassle-free, pay-to-drive app.
iOS
Android
Project overview
A Pay-to-drive app that makes it easier for commuters to pay daily charges to drive within the low emission and ultra-low emission zones in London.
Using the Android/iOS app, commuters can pay driving charges applicable to their vehicles (and commute) in advance or on the go. They can set up Autopay, avail discounts and avoid penalties.
Hundreds of thousands of commuters use the app daily to pay congestion charges, Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges, Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges, and penalties.
