How to claim your Travel Credits
Clean Air Zone Vehicle Scrappage and Travel Scheme
The Birmingham Clean Air Zone is the area inside the A4540 Middleway Ring Road. It does not include the Middleway itself. It is operational every day, 24 hours a day. You might have to pay to drive inside it.
If you work in the Clean Air Zone and have to pay for your vehicle, you could get travel credits to scrap it.
You can apply to scrap your vehicle on the Brum Breathes website.
You’ll get a code by email. You need to redeem the code within 30 days.
Contact Birmingham City Council if:
- you did not get a code
- you've lost your code
