Consultations on the Clean Transport Zone in Krakow are starting

From today until November 27, residents will be able to comment on the draft resolution freezing the current fees for entering the Clean Transport Zone (SCT) in Krakow with a car that does not meet the standards.

The current entry fees to SCT are: PLN 2.5 per hour, PLN 5 per day and PLN 100 for a monthly subscription.

According to the existing regulations, they were to increase significantly in the following years - to PLN 250 per month in 2027 and PLN 500 per month in 2028.

The draft resolution, which was subject to consultations, envisages maintaining the current rates in 2027 and 2028. As officials emphasize, the changes concern only the amount of fees and do not include other provisions related to the operation of SCT.

Work on changes to SCT is ongoing

Regardless of the ongoing consultations, the Krakow city hall is working on a broader correction of the rules for the operation of the Clean Transport Zone. The vice-president of Krakow, Jan Hoffman, has repeatedly announced that the SCT area will be reduced, because it currently covers a significant part of the city.

However, according to officials, more time is needed for such major changes.

What's next with the project?

The project freezing the amount of entry fees to SCT is scheduled to be debated by the city council in December. The Krakow authorities announce that further proposals regarding changes in the functioning of the zone will be presented to residents in the coming weeks.
