Low Emission Mobility Zone (ZFE-m)

This restriction is part of the Low Emission Mobility Zone (ZFE-m), which came into effect in 2022 under the Climate and Resilience Law, aiming to gradually improve air quality in the region.

To support this transition, financial assistance is provided by both the State and the Grand Est Region. Whether you are considering a shift in mobility or a change of vehicle, you can seek personalized mobility advice from the Climate Agency at 03 69 24 82 82 (available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5:30 pm and on Saturdays until 12 pm), or through their website.

For more information on the ZFE-m and a practical guide, you can visit zfe.strasbourg.eu.
