The Government restarts the processing of the norm committed to Brussels that was not approved in the last legislature 

The Spanish Council of Ministers has approved the Sustainable Mobility and Transport Financing Law, which promotes clean and healthy mobility as a social right. The law includes provisions for state funding of urban public transport and requires large companies to have plans to encourage bicycle or electric car use. The law also allows cities to implement urban tolls for low emission zones, similar to London’s system. The law, which is a requirement for Spain to receive Next Generation funds from the EU, is based on four pillars: recognising mobility as a citizen’s right, sustainability, spending efficiency, and digitalisation and innovation. The law also guarantees state financial contribution for sustainable mobility in urban and metropolitan areas, and creates the National System of Sustainable Mobility to coordinate policies with all involved organisations. Additionally, companies with 500 employees (or 250 per shift) are required to have sustainable mobility plans for work. The law currently excludes tolls for highway use but this could be reintroduced during parliamentary processing.
