Challenge the CO2-Emission-Based Pricing for Resident's Parking Permits
The Issue
The proposed pricing structure for the Glasgow’s resident's parking permit, which is based on the CO2 emissions of vehicles, is unjust and disproportionately burdens owners of older cars. This shift from a universal flat fee to an environmentally-tiered price system largely affects low-income families who can't afford to upgrade to eco-friendly models. Plus, according to the European Environment Agency, only 17% of CO2 emissions in the EU result from transport. There are numerous other ways to combat climate change without unduly punishing struggling citizens. We must ensure that the measures we take towards protecting our environment do not inflict financial hardship on our community members who are already struggling. Demand our local government to reassess this biased pricing structure and develop a more equitable solution. Your support can sway the decision. Please, sign this petition today.
