London Mayor Sadiq Khan has “plans” to introduce pay-per-mile charging for drivers.

Rating

Evaluation: Misleading. Mr Khan has in the past considered, and spoken favourably about, a pay-per-mile system which would replace other charges, such as the Ultra-low Emission Zone (Ulez). However, he has since abandoned that position and ruled out introducing such a system while he is Mayor of London. Meanwhile, Transport for London (TfL) has said that “no such scheme is on the table or being developed”. The £150 million system which Ms Hall said was “tech for pay-per-mile” is likely a reference to a system called Project Detroit which is intended to manage current charges such as the Congestion Charge, Ulez and many others. Only £21 million has so far been spent on Project Detroit. One of the social media posts from Ms Hall also includes a doctored photo.
