Expected

Overall revenue for the scheme has been much more than predicted.

The proposed allocations total £13.250m and are subject to the net surplus revenues from the Clean Air Zone being realised. In the report, a representative for Birmingham Council said: "Revenues from the Clean Air Zone are generated from two sources. The other source of revenue is the penalty charge that applies for non-payment of the relevant daily fee. On this basis, the volume of penalty charge notices issued has been higher than assumed in the original prediction. It is now expected to double that income in the period between 2022 and 2023 with profits expected to hit £50 million. Birmingham Council says it has already allocated a large amount of the profits towards schemes such as hydrogen buses, cycle lanes, the University Train Station and the Camp Hill Line stations. Birmingham's Clean Air Zone began in 2021 and The information comes from a report to cabinet seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service. These vehicles could also be slapped with a penalty charge if they fail to pay this fee. "The first of these is the daily fee that applies to a journey through the zone in a vehicle that does not meet the emission standards of the zone and a valid exemption is not in place. "The original plan for the Clean Air Zone assumed that 95% of the people who should pay the daily fee would do so within the 13-day payment window. From the period between the scheme opening in 2021 and the same period in 2022, the Clean Air Zone generated a profit of £25.604 million according to council figures.
