We are committed to regularly reporting on the impact of the CAZ on air quality, traffic flow, vehicle compliance and other measures so that we can monitor progress against the plan set out in our full business case. The business case also outlines why a clean air zone is necessary in Bath.
The key objective of the scheme is to reduce Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations to within the annual mean limit of 40 μg/m3 by the end of 2021 at all individual monitoring locations in Bath, while minimising the impact on local businesses and residents.
The timeline below shows where we are in the reporting cycle, and when you can expect to see the next reports. This page will be updated when the reports become available.

Due to Covid-19 having an unprecedented impact on travel behaviour in 2020, baseline data from 2019 and 2018 has been used to measure the impact and effectiveness of the zone. Due to seasonal effects, we also compare against similar seasons in this initial quarterly report, in this case the second quarter of the year (April to June), referred to as Q2.
