The progress party races towards the MDGS after the year-suggestions – VG

the city Council in Oslo will femdoble bompengene on the days there is acute high air pollution. The progress party claims it is madness.

On a cold and windless winter days it can be high air pollution in the capital, and on the worst days suggest the city council in Oslo to femdoble bompengene.

Then it will cost 165 dollars for a normal car to pass the toll booth and 480 crowns for heavier vehicles.

I do not think this is the best one can do for the environment. This leads to the fact that low-income families cannot afford to use the car, and makes it very unpredictable for the business. 480 million per bompassering frames industry hard, says head of Oslo progress party, Aina Stenersen, VG.

Those are some fanatics, the whole lot, she believes.

a Few days

It was the NRK as the first publicized case. last winter there were only four days with such acute high pollution in Oslo. Before it must be back to 2011 to find such days, according to the city council.

– You are supposed to deliver in the daycare center even if it is only a few days. We don’t know how many days it will be, and when the days are a problem when they come. It is difficult to plan, for families with bad advice, when it suddenly can get an additional expense of several hundred dollars in months, ” says Stenersen in Frp.

the Answer from the Lan Marie Nguyen Berg (MDG), the commissioner for environment and transport, is that she hopes they do not need to use femdoblingen.

– The most important activities we do they are long-term measures to bring down air pollution permanently. And this will only be relevant on days with extremely high air pollution, which is rare, but those days are so dangerous that we have an obligation to take responsibility for people’s health, ” says Nguyen Berg to VG.

CRITICAL: Frp-leader in Oslo, Aina Stenersen, says that even if bompengeøkningen will come rarely, it can be challenging for those with tight finances.

– Will experience significantly increased costs

the Proposal to femdoble bomprisene on “high” days is based on a professional note prepared by COWI and the Norwegian institute for air research (NILU). The note estimates that if the tolls should be used to reduce the traffic on such ekstremdager, price increases five fold during.

In the note it says that “especially people with little opportunity to customize your trip (…) are the most susceptible to the disadvantages of beredskapstakster. People who have to travel at times or stretches where kollektivtilbudet is poor, will experience significant increase in the costs of the journey. If you basically have pushed the economy, it will could be experienced as a significant cost”. The progress party in Oslo will rather spend even more money on veivasking to reduce airborne dust.

I think it is hopeless of the MDGS, they have not given a penny more for public transport in Oslo. First, it should be out towards the dieselbilene, but now it’s all cars. But the note also says that there is an effect of the increase on public transport, and it does not have the MDGS done. I’m skeptical that the measures primarily affects motorists, ” says Stenersen.

Would rather have veivasking

Fagnotater says that public transport alone is not a suitable emergency room in order to reduce the nitrogen dioxide concentration on days with extremely high pollution. “The measure does little to reduce the dieselbiltrafikken, which is an important source of pollution”, is called it in the note.

Ngyen Berg (MDG) they say in the budget in the last year priority sykkelveiene in the capital.

Oslo is struggling with high air pollution and the emission from the cars for most of it. We do not want to frame motorists, but we want to ensure the good air for all who live in Oslo, whether they tend to run the car or not, ” says Ngyen Berg.

Solvik-Olsen must authenticate

It must be made the decision on this bompengeøkningen in both Oslo municipality and Akershus county council. Bergen municipality has already applied to the Ministry of transport and communications to introduce such “beredskapstakster”.

Frp-ruled the Ministry give the green light to the femdoblingen of tolls, says the NTB.
