THIS IS (EX-NAZI FIRM) SIEMENS' SCHEME, NOT KHAN'S - here it is...

4.4 A national charging scheme across the UK’s busiest road networks would help to ease
congestion and traffic levels, due to consumers weighing up the value of their
journey, but also ensure funding in replacement of VED.
4.5 With the government considering road pricing or pay-as-you-drive schemes as a
potential solution, should this be taken forward, it must be carefully planned, executed
and communicated to land well with the public.
4.6 Previously, such schemes have been met with hostility and are deemed to be ‘another
tax’ placed on people by the government. The public must understand what the cost of
road pricing is and the cost it simply replaces, not adds to.
4.9 Siemens Mobility provides road user charging technology that connects with new and
existing road infrastructure.
4.9.1 The technology operates using the consumer’s mobile phone or the vehicle’s on-board
unit before integrating into the city’s road user network, providing accurate data to
operate a road pricing scheme.
4.9.3 The data can also be gathered and shared in real-time, allowing cities to further
optimise their traffic flows according to their specific and unique challenges, reducing
congestion where needed and without the need to invest in additional hardware.

Expansion of air pollution scheme ‘could have drastic impact on disabled people’

The mayor of London’s plans for a huge expansion of the capital’s low emission zone for cars could have a drastic and discriminatory impact on disabled people, say campaigners.
They fear that the current, limited exemptions for disabled people will leave many of them – and their care and health workers, personal assistants and carers – forced to pay the £12.50-a-day charge every time they use a car.
Labour mayor Sadiq Khan’s actions are breaching disabled people’s human rights and the Equality Act.
The concerns have been mounting as the existing Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) – which currently only covers central London, and levies the daily £12.50 charge on older, more polluting light vehicles – is to be significantly expanded on 25 October to cover the entire area within the capital’s north and south circular roads.
The campaign is being led by Kush Kanodia (pictured), a disabled ambassador for Disability Rights UK (DR UK), who also led a successful campaign to persuade the government to scrap parking charges for blue badge-holders in NHS carparks in England.
Disabled people’s organisations backing him include Inclusion London, DR UK and Action Disability Kensington and Chelsea.
Kanodia told Disability News Service that the mayor’s failure to act was “disgraceful” and that he was “trampling over our human rights”.
He said the plans would have a “significantly detrimental impact” on tens of thousands of disabled people in London, at a time when they had already been the group most disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
He said: “Unfortunately, nobody is currently looking at the cumulative impact of the pandemic and the renewed austerity upon disabled people, with rising food and energy prices, cuts to goods and services, and the £20-per-week cut to universal credit coming just a few weeks before these brutal ULEZ charges.”
He contrasted the treatment of blue badge-holders with the mayor’s decisions to grant a ULEZ exemption to diesel-fuelled black cabs and to approve the new Silvertown tunnel road crossing under the Thames....
The mayor’s office has told Kanodia that there are about 250,000 disabled people with blue badges in the capital, but that it is “difficult to determine the exact proportion of ULEZ compliance in the Blue Badge fleet” although it has produced a rough estimate that about 50,000 vehicles used by blue badge holders would be “non-compliant” with ULEZ
