1. Introduction
- Environmental zone in the political discussion
- different problems – various solutions
- Clean air: part of the wider subject „quality of life in cities“

1. Introduction
- Environmental zone in the political discussion
- different problems – various solutions
- Clean air: part of the wider subject „quality of life in cities“
- Efficient decrease in air pollutants requires an integrative approach

- Good traffic conditions, but much through traffic in the historical centre

2. The initial situation in Berlin
- Good traffic conditions, but much through traffic in the historical centre
- Comprehensive decrease in air pollutions achieved as yet
- But: compared to standard values degree of successful decrease by far insufficient

2. The initial situation in Berlin
- Good traffic conditions, but much through traffic in the historical centre
- Comprehensive decrease in air pollutions achieved as yet
- But: compared to standard values degree of successful decrease by far insufficient
- Moreover: problems of road safety, motorised traffic with too much speed, high noise pollution

3. Response: Planning scheme
- Three pillars of inner city strategy defined by transport policy
• To further public transport, to encourage the use of bicycles in traffic

- Three pillars of inner city strategy defined by transport policy
• To further public transport, to encourage the use of bicycles in traffic
• Strict on-street parking control

- Three pillars of inner city strategy defined by transport policy
• To further public transport, to encourage the use of bicycles in traffic
• Strict on-street parking control
• Redirecting inner-city trough traffic

- Additional strategies as regards road safety, decrease in air pollutants, in noise based on traffic planning
- Example: three starting points for the „clean air and action plan“
- „Environmental zone“ part of a package of measures

4. Environmental zone: Objectives and implementation (I.)
- Objective: short to medium-term decrease through ban on high-polluting cars in the inner city, a higher rate of fleet changeover as from phase !
- As of 1.1.2008 – phase I: primarily a decrease in PM 10, at present approx. 90,000 cars involved (of around 1.3 m)
- As of 1.1.2010 – phase II: also decrease in NO2 , in
addition around 35,000 cars
- As for purchase of new cars both air pollutants are to be considered!

- Environmental zone: 80 sqkm with clear bounds as to its surface area
• National Ordinance defines badges in three categories
- Arrangements well underway

4. Environmental zone: Objectives and implementation (II.)
- Environmental zone: 80 sqkm with clear bounds as to its surface area
- Arrangements well underway
• National Ordinance defines badges in three categories
• As of 1.1.2008 red/yellow/green badges only allowed in the inner city
• limited exemptions
• 40 € administrative fine in case of violation

5. Conclusion
- Environmental zone is one building stone of an integrated urban/transport/environmental policy
- Degree of efficient decrease at the “source” – the car –is limited, hence “RSC – Initiative”

5. Conclusion
- Environmental zone is on building stone of an integrated urban/transport/environmental policy
- Degree of efficient decrease at the “source” – the car –is limited, hence “RSC – Initiative”
- Initiative within the context of the EU “Green paper - consultation”
