Oxford taxi dispatch — the operating reality
Oxford operates the UK's first Zero Emission Zone — a stricter regime than the typical CAZ, requiring zero-emission vehicles to enter without daily charge. The ZEZ overlay structurally shapes Oxford fleet dispatch: vehicle-class enforcement around zero-emission status, route bias to keep non-compliant vehicles outside the ZEZ boundary, and structural surcharging on bookings traversing the central zone. Modern dispatch like TaxiCloud handles the ZEZ as a first-class vehicle attribute.
