Cambridgeshire County Council has unveiled plans to introduce a peak-period congestion charge in Cambridge as part of its Transport Innovation Fund bid.

Following an 18-mopnth study, the council this week announced a £500M package of transport improvements to be submitted to government in the autumn. In addition to the congestion charging, the measures include ‘substantial improvements to public transport', including bus lanes, express routes for Park & Ride buses, subsidised bus fares, and an extensive network of cycle paths.
