RSSThe city of Brussels is considering the introduction of a €3 (US$3.93) congestion zone charge – which could generate up to US$587.86 million (€450mn) a year.

Initial tests suggest that a €3 a day charge would reduce urban traffic by 11%. 7424 Rapp Trans, Stratec and Carte Blanche are all working on the idea of a congestion zone charge for the Belgian capital. The money generated from the new charge would be invested in public transport schemes.

Brussels is aiming to reduce pressure on its transport system by a fifth in the next five years.
