Section 107: Joint local-London charging schemes to implement policies of ITAs
264.This section amends section 166 of the TA 2000 so that a joint local-London charging scheme that has effect partly within an integrated transport area may be made only if it directly or indirectly facilitates the achievement of the local transport policies of the charging authorities, including the local transport policies of the ITA, and the policies and proposals set out in the Mayor’s transport strategy. As with the equivalent provision in section 165 of the TA 2000 as amended by section 105, the last of these three requirements applies even though, in a joint local-London scheme, the ITA is (by definition) not a charging authority for the scheme. Where the charging scheme has effect wholly outside of the ITA area then it can be made under section 166 of the TA 2000 only if it directly or indirectly facilitates the achievement of the local transport policies of the local traffic authority.
*A joint local-London charging scheme is a scheme that is made jointly by a non-metropolitan local traffic authority and a London traffic authority.
*The Mayor’s transport strategy is the transport strategy prepared and published by the Mayor of London under section 142 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.
