Workplace Parking Levies Parliamentary Briefing (Feb 2019)

This briefing will inform MSPs why Councils should be given the power to implement Workplace Parking Levies where they feel it would be appropriate. This levy will fulfil a number of goals shared across Scotland’s political spectrum, including:

● Tackling the public health problems associated with air pollution, and bringing Scotland into compliance with its European legal obligations on air quality
● Reducing carbon emissions from the transport sector, contributing to efforts to tackle climate change
● Generate funding to make Scotland’s transport system more equitable, and work for everyone
