Parking fees to cut car emissions

Two Liberal members, Sara Svanström and Elin Hjelmestam, proposed that Stockholm investigate and implement higher parking fees for fossil-fueled vehicles to reduce emissions and improve air quality. The City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee responded that this is not possible under current legislation, but the city has proposed a legal amendment to the government. Despite these legal obstacles, the district councils of Farsta, Hägersten-Älvsjö, and Södermalm believe the proposal could be an effective instrument for achieving the city's climate goals.
