一项资助湖区运输升级的计划提议征收车辆税和访客费,旨在减少汽车使用和促进可持续旅行。 A plan to fund Lake District transport upgrades proposes vehicle levies and visitor fees, aiming to cut car use and boost sustainable travel.

新报告提议征收车辆税和可能的过夜访客费,资助英格兰湖区可持续交通年度升级3 400万英镑,包括更好的公共汽车、自行车道和停车管制。 A new report proposes a vehicle levy and potential overnight visitor charges to fund a £34 million annual upgrade to sustainable transport in England’s Lake District, including better buses, bike paths, and parking controls. 虽然英格兰没有支付过夜费的法律依据,但报告引用了曼彻斯特和瑞士的模式,估计它们可以筹集1 000万至3 400万英镑。 While no legal basis exists for overnight fees in England, the report cites models from Manchester and Switzerland, estimating they could raise £10 million to £34 million. 已经允许征收的车辆税每年可产生2 400万至4 600万英镑,视设计情况而定。 Vehicle levies, already permitted, could generate £24 million to £46 million yearly depending on design. 研究报告强调,减少汽车使用需要的不仅仅是费用高昂的公共交通、改善交通便利和基础设施的改变。 The study stresses that reducing car use requires more than fees—strong public transit, accessibility improvements, and infrastructure changes are essential. 自然保护者支持系统变革的推动。 Conservationists support the push for systemic change.
