Charging for Movement brings together national policymakers, local authority leaders, transport planners, parking managers, highways teams, and technology suppliers to explore how charging mechanisms can deliver cleaner air, reduce congestion, and create fair, financially resilient transport systems.
From Clean Air Zones and Road User Charging to Workplace Parking Levies, Congestion Charging, Lane Rental Schemes, Bus Lane Enforcement and new powers for moving traffic offences, UK towns and cities are being asked to do more than ever with limited budgets.
This event provides the national stage for understanding these mechanisms, learning what works, and discovering how they can be implemented fairly and effectively.
With the UK now committed to introducing EV road-user charging from 2028 and a growing focus on local revenue generation, the timing has never been more critical. Delegates will hear real case studies, practical guidance, and insights from the organisations developing and delivering charging schemes across the UK and internationally.
The programme also explores emerging charging mechanisms such as tourism road pricing, seasonal access charges and the role of behavioural 'nudges' as complementary or alternative tools to traditional tariffs.


Why now?
Local authorities face three simultaneous challenges:
-
Falling revenue from traditional sources like parking and fuel duty
-
Increasing pressure to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and meet decarbonisation targets
-
Growing legal responsibilities around enforcement, highways management, and mobility planning
To address these, cities need robust, fair, and politically deliverable charging mechanisms – supported by technology, data, communication, and policy.
This event is important because:
-
The UK is entering a new era of road-user charging, starting with EV mileage charges
-
More local authorities are actively exploring Workplace Parking Levies, Congestion Zones, CAZ expansions, freight access charging, and lane rental regimes
-
There is a surge in supplier innovation, but no single event currently brings these policy and technology strands together
-
Authorities need practical, trusted, and politically navigable guidance to implement schemes
-
Transport charging is becoming one of the most important tools for funding local transport and shaping urban mobility behaviour
-
Tourist destinations, National Parks and heritage towns are exploring seasonal or peak-period road pricing to manage visitor pressure, congestion, and environmental impacts
-
Behavioural science is now central to transport policy, with authorities increasingly using nudges, incentives, messaging and defaults to shape travel behaviour alongside, or instead of, financial charges
Charging mechanisms are no longer niche or experimental, they are becoming essential.
